funpilot,
The advantage of the H2 from a typical motor vehicle crash perspective is, MASS. Not many crumple zones but lots and lots of MASS.
Having treated spinal injuries for over a decade and haviug my own family in a crash...MASS is worth the tradoff for me. If you want better mpg then buy a 6.0 liter diesel Excursion 2wd.
That's what I wrapped my wife and 6 boys in. 7400lbs of metal that gets (no lies here) 30 mpg on the highway and 22.5 mpg combined. Yes, I do my own calcs and the worst tank of diesel was 21.6 mpg (towed our trailer). It has 325 hp and 560 ft/lbs of torque stock. Your life is worth more than the Prius.
My two cents.
