Gas Mileage Question
 

I am interested in a 2005 H2,I drive 5 miles each way to work.

My current car is 4000lbs and the fuel economy is below on what my current car is giving me.

Fuel economy: 13 mpg city/19 mpg highway

How does the H2 compare...?will it put a signifigant dent in my gas allowance.

Re: Gas Mileage Question
 

Wife works 4 miles from home and she has been averaging 11.1 mpg

We get 9.5 city to 13 highway.

When I bought my first Hummer in 2005.. I didnt buy it for mileage...

Best thing to do if worried about mileage is look at a nice Ford Escape Hybrid ... they are kinda like off road and close to same cool factor :fdance:

Re: Gas Mileage Question
 

I am sure you have your reasons for buying your hummer...

I am worried about mileage...so i ask the questions that I feel that relate to me...thanks for your input.

Re: Gas Mileage Question
 

10 miles a day and you're worried about fuel economy? try out a scooter. 4 gallons of gas should last all week.

Re: Gas Mileage Question
 

You say you live 5 miles from work, but that really isn't a meaningful number...

How many miles do you average annually? Will the H2 be your only vehicle?

Nothing wrong with being concerned about gas mileage, but do know upfront that the H2 is not an economical vehicle. It's a tool and it does its job very well, but economy wasn't one of the design criteria. Choose the right tool for the job to be done.

I always find it amusing when you ask a simple question and get smart assed answers. Like high school all over again. Anyway when I had my 03 i drove in mainly city traffic fora fourty mile commute and averaged 11.5 on the display.

Re: Gas Mileage Question
 

Average 11 in the city and 12 on highway so little or no difference

Re: Gas Mileage Question
 

i work about 12.5 miles from my house
prolly put on about 35 miles a day on the H2

with 37 inch tires, my computer says i get 10.5 mpg average

with 35 inch tires, i was at 10.7 mpg average

i have K&N CAI everythign else is stock

Re: Gas Mileage Question
 

I have had an 03 and have an 04 now and the computer always says between 11.9 and 12.9 miles per gallon. DON'T BUY A HUMMER IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT MILEAGE. I just filled up and it was $67.00, but then again I have a ridiculous government salary so I really don't care!:dancingbanana: :jump: :dancingbanana:

Re: Gas Mileage Question
 

LOL...how long will that 67.00 last you though?
I am not really concerned...i am more curious to how much its gonna cost me a week to fill up.

Re: Gas Mileage Question
 

its nice isnt it? well i like it anyway

wife drives it in town and gets 12. i get in it on the highway and get around 13 or so. drive it like its a big heavy ass suv and it will get about that. drive it like i do one of my mustangs and u will get about 3gpm:shhh:

it gets the same as our escalade did and my lifted f150 before that. seems like if u r going to get a big 4 wheel drive vehicle its going to get about 12

Re: Gas Mileage Question
 

30 to 35 MPG here, oops that is the Neon, 10 to 12 MPG in the truck.

Re: Gas Mileage Question
 

But how is this scooter off road?

Re: Gas Mileage Question
 

when ever the wife gets tired of it i think it would be fun to set the truck up the way gm should have in the first place with a duramax diesel. i wonder what kind of mpg u would get with that?

Re: Gas Mileage Question
 

yea you'd get better gas milage but it'd also cost you 20 grand or more for the conversion...

Re: Gas Mileage Question
 

I live almost 30 miles from work and average 11.8 and is mostly highway (autobahn) in Germany.

Re: Gas Mileage Question
 

Your MPG figures may be a little different due to tire size change unless you have a handheld programmer to adjust for tire sizes. The programers adjust many more things on H2 so you can adjust rig to suit you.

We get anywhere from 10.5-12.5 with combined driving.... obviously lower in the winter with warming the car up and longer idle periods. In the middle of summer I usually tow my jet skis back and forth from the lake at least once so that all figures in there. On our road trip to Florida this summer my best was 14.48 (all highway).

The Hummer H2 is not an economic vehicle by any stretch, its around town mileage is not much worse than any other 3/4 ton + truck but with its superb aerodynamics (being sarcastic) it does suffer worse than others on the highway.

I agree with the above comment on how much you will be driving it annually to figure your total fuel expenses, if you are honestly this worried about fuel you may want to pass and this is why: If you are constantly worried about fuel it takes the fun out of driving one of these and second I can assure that gas prices will go up in the next 12-24 months...... its not if, its when. I was spending well over $100 to fill up when gas was over $4/gallon

Not trying to be a smart ass with my last paragraph.... just pointing out the obvious. If you need a large SUV but are ultimately looking for better economy maybe look at a Tahoe or Yukon with the displacement on demand..... my friend gets mid-high teens knocking around town (using E85) and around 20-21 on the highway with his loaded up 2007 Tahoe and its a very nice truck.

Good luck on whatever decision you decide to make:beerchug:
