So Gas here in Utah is now $3.18

[Investigator]

So ive wanted to buy a hummer, and now is my chance. ive got enough money and worked everything out. but now gas is 3.18 a gallon and that kinda scares me. for sure i thought this was the end of hummers, but nope i see people driving them around, proably accually even more. so im wondering. how much more expensive is it to drive those tanks. is there a limit to how high it will go before you limit how much you drive or sell. do you have to. i dont know. i just want to know your thoughts. is it worth it?

Listen, if gas prices EVER cross the mind of a potential hummer owner then the truck isnt right for you. Just like a Suburban, Tahoe, etc. The difference between 2.75 a gallon and 3.25 a gallon in the grand scheme of things doesnt make a damn difference to me. Picture if you drive 15,000 a year. The cost increase (.50/gallon averaging say 13mpg) isnt that great when looked at over the course of a year. Does it suck??? Sure it does. I didnt buy a hummer thinking of gas cost. I bought it because I love the truck.

If this is what is on your mind then buy something else. Honestly.

I agree. If you have to think about it too hard, it probably won't be enjoyable for you.

BTW: Gas is like $3.05 in Burlington, VT now.

Who Cares...in Canada overall the new car sales of "Gas Guzzling" SUV's has increased by 25% over 2006 sales. Your way better off in an accident with a big vehicle rather than a little vehicle. A really neat vid was posted some time back about how a Smart car survived a 70mph impact against a concrete barrier. The car was destroyed but the drivers compartment stayed intact, this is fine and dandy, but for a person to survive a sudden impact like that going from 0 to 70mph is extremely unlikely. All your internal organs would slam into your rib cage and burst causing massive internal bleeding because the crumple zone can only absorb so much, the rest of the impact wave resonantes through the rest of the vehicle including the drivers cab and that's just so happens to be where you sit. These vehicles have been labelled as "disposable". This includes alot of other small cars that fit into their category. Fine and dandy, you save cash at the pumps, but the day you get into an accident the odds of a little car impacting a larger vechicle is very high...somewhere in around 92%. Hell, some motorcylces are even bigger than some of these smaller cars. So forget about the savings and worry more about you and your family surviving an accident and walking away from it.

Cheers!.

Lets be honest here, most of us here I would think make 6 digits, but come on gas prices affect us all. Ive been driving very gentle, and setting the cruise at 55. Im getting around 17-18 MPG in the H2.

Nope, 2 digits here. Mowing lawn and delivering papers. I can really make my money stretch

Cut back on stupid things you waste money on. Cook food at home more, cut back the super cable package. When we quit spending money on Sh*t the price will come down. It is all tied together. One way to get your Hummer is buy it and with the fuel savings buy a small comuter car for work. I barely make six figures but I love my truck so I will cut back on other things to afford it.

This sounds like the car for you http://www.fordpinto.com/
Oh by the way it get about the same gas milage as an H3

Gas here in Calgary is right now around $1.20/litre (Canadian), that equates to approx $4.43/US Gallon (1 gallons (US) is equal to 3.79 liters). Since as of today we are trading Canadian dollars at $1.09US that means it would cost approx $4.87/US Gallon here in Canada. So don't feel so bad! You could always come up here and buy your gas!

Hummers get 12 mpg ,you can lust in your heart (like that a hole jimmy carter) or grow a sack and enjoy yourself . simple as that .

Here's a newsflash: Gas prices fluctuate. Remember when all the Honda dealers had wait lists for a Prius? A month ago they were offering incentives because gas prices had dropped so low. My gas was up to $3.09 on Saturday. The same station today was at $2.91. It will come down again after the Memorial Day rush, and drop even further after the summer travel season halts. If you're really that concerned, then have a second vehicle that you use for your longer trips that gets better gas mileage. You can also plan your errands better so you're on the road less. It does hurt to pay $70 to fill up, but I think the trade off is well worth it.

Here in Kansas City it's $3.40 a gallon. I'm sick of hearing the stories about "summer driving season", "refinery fires" and one of my favorites, "heating oil demand" causing huge swings in prices.

Is the petrochemical industry the only f*cking industry on the planet that doesn't plan for the next season? Even worse is their feining difficulty for whatever made up crisis they conjure up while banking record profits.

I make enough to buy the gas, but I don't have to like the price. Economics is one thing but continual market manipulation is crap.

... but ...I think every customer on the wait list for a PRIUS at the Honda dealer is still waiting! they should have gone to the Toyota Dealer

I think the only solution is to rid the country of a leader and vice leader who profit on a personal level from high gas prices. We get fed the stories they want us to hear. Fools believe them.

I just installed the new S.P.F.S.K.F.E.B.H.O or Solar Powered Fuel Saving Kit For Elitest Bastard Hummer Owners. It is an easy install that mounts to the roof rails.

On the way to work today I was averaging 10.5 M.P.G.

It's GREAT!!!!

When the oil companys make more profit than they have B4 Bush and more profit than any time in thier history under the Bush administration it has to make you wonder WTF is going on .I voted for him and a'm a republican and I a'm very dissapointed in him to say the least.we are being screwed without a kiss or any 4play ,and with out lube. but since this is the Best country and form of government at least we can question the gov and it's current president who will probably go down in history as a greedy,inept moron of the fist order . maybe we can get hime to go hunting with the VP.
