ARH1956 - I hardly ever have any issues with anyone I meet. I am the type of person that gets along with just about anyone. However I think your right...I am letting them get the best of me. Plus yesterday I was in one hell of a poor mood. Maybe I should have pointed out the "nice comments" I have been given as well, and maybe I should look harder at those than the negitive ones. I am just starting to think that the H2 is the most hated truck/SUV on the road. I am not even kidding...does it bug me, no not really, but WTF - why does it have to be the poster child of hated automobiles. I would have bought it all over again however. I love the Truck and plan on keeping it for a hell of a long time. Plus there is really nothing else like it! 
KenP - I am doing my best to be like that...but it just seems like each time I am a brake pad loosing more of my surface...soon only to be iron on steel..and I will get hot!
Kacyk - now your talking my friend! Sign me up!

The mileage questions are the only ones that get old because virtually EVERYONE asks them. And, each time, it seems they've heard it gets lower and lower. The next person will probably say, "I heard those get 1 1/2 mpg!"
But, it's not a big deal. Most people are suprised to know that it gets close to every other full size SUV.
I rarely, if ever get mad, but the other day I came very close.
I was pulling my boat back from the lake and had to stop in a little town to get gas. It was an Indian convenience store that sold a bunch of cigarettes. They have tons of those around here. So, I fill up and go in to pay, since they didn't have pay at the pump. I had to wait in line to pay and there was a steady stream of cigarette buyers at the other counter. So, I get to the front and tell her I had pump number whatever. As she's running the card, she turns around and says, "$58, Bertha!" like they'd been in there discussing how much it cost to fill up that beast.
For some reason, the expression she had and the mocking tone really clicked something. MY first thought was to say, "Yeah, that's about your weekly cigarette budget, isn't it?"
My second thought was, "Are you mad because the truck cost more than your house?"
But, I didn't say anything, cooled off quickly, and went on about my business. Now, I laugh about it and I'm glad I didn't say anything.

I've always answered in a positive manner. About the mileage, 14mpg... Really.
Cost, about 40k.
Cost to fill up, $60. But I have a 50 gallon tank and can travel 700 miles before stopping. (that totally messes them up)
Honestly, most want to see inside the truck. Some I let some look, some I don't.

Whenever I get the milege question I answear "bad to worse". It usually gets some laughs. When I feel like seeing if the person asking the question is really paying attention I respond with: about 13 gallons per mile. You'd be amazed how many people go "oh thats not really that bad."

Gas mileage...For fun I say, "about 23.8mpg. I drive a KIA Rio 4 days a week and the HUMMER 1 day a week to work...overall average, 23.8.
Also, nearly everyone here in NE says that's not really that bad, when I tell them actuals...avg. about 11-12 in town, 12-13 on the highway, 8-9 off-roading....BTW...what do you get on a 60% incline...I bet it's either 0 or even a negative if your brakes don't work! :-)
Just get used to the comments and create some fun answers for your own entertainment!

And my all time favorite answer -- "because I can!"
I got asked today, while filling up, how much a new H2 costs! I wanted so bad to say, honey, if you don't know, then you don't need to be asking! But, NO... I was nice this time!

On another language bit....my husband does that anytime he takes my truck out. If someone starts mouthing off, he says "I'm sorry, I don't speak english" and turns away. Usually throws them for a loop.
I personally have not had a single negative comment on my truck. Like Ken, most people want to see the inside. And for some weird reason, "most" are 40 yr old guys driving minivans. Scary.
The second most popular comment I get is "if I could afford one of those, I'd get the yellow too!"

HummerNewbie - I think you hit the nail on the head. Where I am from there is a split down the middle of income.
Some upper, small amount of middle, and a large lower.

I would have jumped the counter - taken the CC machine and spiked it on the ground - then started dancing the jig on it. Ok, not really.
But it is funny how we are the topic of many others lives.
Right now I am waiting for a troll to appear on this thread...it is only a matter of time.
