Re: weight reduction...?
H2s aren't racing ricer mobiles! The more weight and less gas mileage the cooler you are. I think removing 100lbs equals like 1/10th second off your quarter mile, which in mpg terms roughly equates to...nothing.
You could remove the interior, toss anything that's powered and not essential (windows, onstar module, etc), replace roof with plastic and... wait...that's starting to sound like a Jeep! Stop!

Re: weight reduction...?
I don't think it's possible to remove enough to make a difference.

Re: weight reduction...?
I will never understand why people buy a Hummer than look for ways to improve gas mileage. It's a Hummer. If you can't afford gas than you probably couldn't of afforded the Hummer in the first place. I also have a Corvette. I look to remove weight but for other reasons. |
