there is the link to the study that George SSSS posted about.


I just downloaded the big 500k spreadsheet, which is new. the study tracks the energy consumed in the making, designing, using, and disposing of a typical vehicle based on typical life-span and other things. its incredibly thorough in its inclusions - it includes miles driven by engineers, etc.

But i'm not entirely sure what it means. For example, the costs are extremely high in overall dollars, and in dollars per mile, and i don't think this can be directly correlated to oil consumption or whatever. perhaps this is up the alley of one of you folks.

but, yes, the prius's estimated cost/mile is $3.25-$4.08

The H2s is $3.03 to $3.38

those are the low-estimates to the high-estimates.



but before we celebrate too much and publicize this report and its results, know that the jeepers creepers crowd has it way over us hummerdingers - the Wrangler is bone-cheap, at $0.60 to $0.80. that's like the third lowest vehicle on the planet. The H2 is more like 200th.

the comany is CNW marketing research, www.cnwmr.com, if you search for hummer CNW or prius CNW you can find a variety of wild flaming rebuttals of this study, and basically (as usual) nobody with a hummer freaking out about much.

ever notice that? hummer drivers don't often flame anybody, but are often flamed? i'm sure there's a valuable point hidden in that somewhere.

I'm thinking about buy the FUFUFUH2.com domain.

I like tinfoil. It sparks in the microwave.

Use this photo of my truck that made their website. Guess reading was not required where they went to school. You can almost tell that it is a Hummer.

Is that the sorriest face you ever saw? Almost like he is embarrassed to be doing it?

but the svelte sumptious, aromatic interior of a jeep compensates for that.
