The Hummer name does bring out a lot of hate, but equally so, a lot of curiosity. Sad to say, some of the hate comes from other people who drive off-road type vehicles such as Jeep, Toyota, etc., which get no better fuel mileage.
As for fuel mileage...look at the Escalade and the mileage it gets this year with a large engine? Active fuel management does increase highway miles.
On another note, IF, they release a V8 in 2008, the sticker will show less mileage than the current 3.7L, then again, the 2008 3.7L will show less mileage than the 2007 3.7L engine. The auto manufacturers have to go to the new rating system next year. That will shave about 12 percent off the current sticker fuel mileage figures. So, a 20 mpg rating now will be around 17-18 mpg next year.
