at the pumps I always reply with I can afford to fill my Hummer - Thank You for your concern.

Maybe it comes from living in the Midwest and living in a rural hilly area, but I never have had any negative remarks or gestures towards my H2. It's one of those handful of vehicles, people want to look underneath and see what makes it tick. Granted, I've only had the H2 for a few months, however, I've had LOTS of positive comments. The biggest differences come from men and women on its looks - men seem to love them and women either love or hate them - but very few are indifferent.
My grandson is crazy about it and asks me to take him to all his softball games. My best friend and fishing buddy is seriously contemplating buying a Hummer Certified H2, and my wife thinks I should get her an "economical" H3. Neither seem to be scared off by recent GM posturing about the Hummer. Now as I approach what probably is the last decade of my life, I could care less what other people say. I didn't buy this for them or for the mileage, I bought this for me and I love it!

Havent had any real issues other than some dirty looks with the exception of some teenage hippie looking kid at the gas station last week. Im there actually filling up a couple of gas cans for my mower...... I had about 1/2 tank in the H2 so I figured I would just top off while I was there. I noticed this kid in the next row of pumps over taking pictures of me and the truck with his camera phone, figured at first he was admiring the truck. While filling I noticed him staring so I kinda just shrugged at him and gave him the "what the hell are you staring at look"..... he looked away. As Im pulling away I see him run over to the pump and take a picture of the gallons/price display with his phone so I stop abruptly and lean out of the window and ask him if he is doing a science experiment or what..... he really cocky says "Yeah" I told him that was only for 1/2 tanks hippie and to mind his own fu#king business.

One idiot made some comment about "why would anyone need something that huge?" (Of course he was sporting a sweet Grand Caravan). I told him I needed the room so I can pick up his wife and daughters and drop them off on their assigned corners. I don't think he really understood what I meant though....

I have had people make comments at the pump. My standard response is something like.

You know It was once quoted that most cars are a direct reflection of its owner! So Well I may be like my HUMMER that is Rugged, Playful full of fun, Successful and good looking and has expensive taste.

But you my friend are driving a prius (or whatever they are driving). So that makes you Boring, Ugly, Broke and lost in the crowd.

So have fun with that!

I have only had a couple of remarks about ruining the environment or being the cause of the war... and my reply is "we are all entitled to our own opinions, and I think you are a total waste of good air"....
