I appreciate your candidness. The reason I am complaining is that the new TrailBlazer SS has a 395HP LS2 engine (the same as the new Corvette). The Blazer weighs the same as the H3 AND it is rated with the same gas mileage (16/19). I asked HUMMER and Chevrolet how this can be possible: how 2 similar weighing vehicles (outside of aerodynamics) can have 2 totally different engines (a V8 vs an inline 5) and get the same gas milegae! Hell, if I know about the SS, I may have purchased it over the H3 (you get power AND great gas mileage). The answer given to me was, "I know it is frustrating, but I don't know how to explain it."
