Come on man! If you can afford 55k for the truck, gas is not a problem, everytime a customer brought up gas all I had to do is say
ver here is a 6 or 4 cl. canyon, or envoy.
If you want a hummer your making a statement, that statement weather you wan tto fess up to it or not is "I am the Man" see my rig....
f-gas I pay more for drycleaning then most people do for food every month. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Usetosell , are you 4' tall? THe last thing i'm trying to say by buying a H2 is that i'm the man. I bought it because my wife wanted it for a school bus and that it would trek through 2' of snow.

Gas crises--what gas crises? Just fill er up-both of them.

Here is an "H6" and my Black machine at the pumps--I got to borrow and H6 for a day from the company owners last week.

Sweet!!!
probably not real good on tight trails, but pretty decent on the more rugged but open terrain...

I think that for the most part, people that want a Hummer will buy one no matter what fuel costs. There will always be some that won't because of the cost, but I think thats a low number. I'm not happy with spending 3.00/gal, but wouldn't want to drive anything else. I have a late model chevy pickup, and it doesn't do any better on fuel.

Gas prices are on the rise with no end in sight. I'm predicting gloom & doom for sales of the Hummer line-up unless GM gets it together with bringing us something more fuel-efficient & practical. That would be great for the future, but what about now? I think sales are going to tank as prices rise!!

Some other Hummer enthusiast I know disagree...in what almost seems like a proud & arrogant manner, these folks seem to feel that Hummer owners are all significanly wealthy and are essentially unaffected by rising gas prices....that a couple thousand dollars more each year spent at the pump means nothing to them. They say Hummer owner don't feel the bite and sales will continue almost unaffected.

My counter-thought to this arguement is that Hummer owners may have the money, but they likely worked hard to earn it and are not wasteful & careless...they care about the environment and conservation to some extent.

Enough rambling, you get the point...put up your vote & thoughts.

How much will rising gas prices affect Hummer sales in terms of potential Hummer owners caring about gas prices & cost to operate? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
The second and third options basically say the same thing. 19 (63%)

Rides realy smooth--just like a stock H2 but a hair better. There were 33's (toyo's) on this one which helped with the ride.

No supercharger on this one (possibly my job for some owners--we are negotiating) so it is a dog like every other stock H2---I have some inside pics coming.

It is not super functional as a limo---more of a single person's private space when at an event. Slick for a private party when on the road. I prefer a private party in a Vegas hotel room.
