Re: Gas Mileage Question
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.

Re: Gas Mileage Question
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!

Re: Gas Mileage Question
Getting 11.5 per the DIC and thats pretty much around town driving. I am not light on the gas pedal either. Like Intercooled said, do the math. There are plenty of other trucks etc that get worse mileage then the H2 but nothing compared to the H2.

Re: Gas Mileage Question
I've been laughing at this post, and just had to chime in! Let's see, if he drives a Prius, he could save 300% on his gas bill to drive to work. At 50 miles a week, that would add up to $10.50 a week at $3.00 a gallon. If it ever goes to the point where I have to worry about $10.00, PLEASE SHOOT ME !!!!!!!!!!
