People often try to compare an H2's gas mileage to another, "equivalent" SUV. Take a Yukon for instance. With it's lower, (numerically) rear end ratio, & lower weight here's a more fair comparison: Take your typical 5.3L, 3.23 equipped Yukon, put the transmission down into 3rd gear, attach a 1500 trailer & check its fuel consumption. Now take this same combo off-road, LOL...
In the end, the real question is this: how much fun is that Yukon/Trailer combo to drive?
Those who own a Hummer understand. Yes, the fuel expense is somewhat greater than with other SUV's, but the Fun Factor WAY more than offsets this minor detail... After all you only live once, don't limit yourself to the slippery slopes associated with politcal correctness. It's been said, "You can't please all the people, all the time." I say, let them please themselves, get out there & have fun.
My H2 gets driven 90% of the time while a BMW E46 M3 convertible, a C5 Z06, a Boxster, a Yukon Denali XL, and a '70 Super Bee sit in the garage. Why...., I can't explain it, you just have to drive an H2, then you'll undersatand.
