Why and who cares?

Uh, isn't that 5th grade math?

Does it really matter???? Gas mileage does not play a difference in anything that we buy.

In about 3 years once the H2 is payed for me and the wife are going to get us one of these and they get about 9 miles to the gallon with Granny taking it for a drive. With me driving, I think it would get 3-4 miles to the gallon on the highway and about 1-2 mpg in the city plus a set of brake pads each week. Also Dodge just threw a hissy fit about the mustang pushing stock 500 horse so dodge has upgraded the previous 8.3 ltr 500 hpw engine to a 8.4 ltr 600 hpw engine just to prove a point that they can.

The H2 is obviosly worse on gas mileage, i mean its heavier, and it has a bigger engine so its gotta be worse on gas mileage. I guess the only you can find out how much worse it would be in your case would be to rent an h2 for a day or two and see how you do on gas mileage with that for the way you drive.

Like MarineHawk I am averaging 11.7 mpg right now on mixed driving w/ my H2.
