Re: New here.... buying advice for 03 H2
Engine is a GM truck so compare to any other GM motor. Here is a cool video essay!

So in a way that will have to factor in the cost too.

Not sure.... I won't be buying that new of one. I have however been looking forward to being able to use regular vs. premium that I have to use in my current car.
Figured it would offset the cost of gas a little bit.... |

Re: New here.... buying advice for 03 H2
Although I dont believe the 08 and 09's "require" premium fuel, they sure run like crap without it! Both my 08 and 09 didnt like regular fuel and really performed well with the premium. Sure its an added expense but we all know when we buy a hummer that its not designed to be fuel efficient.

Re: New here.... buying advice for 03 H2
The 08 engine runs on regular and it won't void your warranty or cause damage because of the engine computer controls, but it idles rougher with regular (just watch the tach bounce around), and the 6 speed will shift A LOT more on hilly terrain or doing any towing running on regular. To be honest, I haven't noticed much of a difference in mileage running regular vs. premium, but premium is "recommended" not required. I talked with an '09 owner at Lynch's Hummer outing this year and he said he didn't notice any difference using E85 ethanol or premium except for the mileage, but notices a "roughness" with regular.
