Gas Mileage Question

[HummerMann]

I haven't reset my lie-o-meter since June and it's reading 10.9 mpg, and I do a mix of about 65% urban 35% highway. I go through about 1500 gallons a year and enjoy every minute of it.

So 1500 gallons..average 3.50 a gallon....so averaging 450 bucks a month on gas...currently i spend abut 350 on gas on my SRT8...my question is ...is the H2 your daily driver?how many miles a week do you drive you think?

srt8? u mean a neon?


sorry running joke with me and a friend how no one will ever admit to driving a neon. its always and srt8

best bet would be to keep the neon for a dd and drive the h2 when ever u wanted to. unless the money doesnt bother you. for me it will take a lot of gas to add up to another car payment

You are mistaking the srt4 for the srt8, the srt8 is not a neon but is the v8 425 horsepower version in the chrysler 300, charger, cherokee, etc etc

Buying fuel is no joke for most of us but I dont consider fueling the Hummers much at all since my boats fuel tank takes 150 GALLONS TO FILL IT UP .

FWIW my supercharged one has the diffs regeared with 38 inch tires and I dont see much difference over stock in economy since the mod. I dont try to give full acceleration unless I really need it so the numbers are about the same.

H2's are not that great on gas, everyone agrees. But just do the math and figure it out. Lets use a round number like $3.00 per gallon of gas. I think your mentioned you get about 16MPG in your car. So.....
Example: 10,000 miles per year.
H2 @ 12 MPG @ $3.00 = $2,499
Your car @ 16MPG @ $3.00 =$1875
Difference of $624.00
Can you affored the extra $624 per year ? or $52 a month?or $13 a week? or $1.85 a day?
Stop buying that cup of coffee in the morning on the way to work and you'll love your H2.

Long story short....My 05 H2 lease came up and I turned it in for a Trail Blazer SS.Gas was $3.99 around here and said I didnt need to be paying for high gas anymore. So.....after owning my Trail Blazer SS ( whch got 15-16MPG) for 3 months I turned it in for a used 06 H2 LE. I just couldnt live with out one. End of story!
