Granted, since the H3 in particular has jack squat for engine braking in the auto, it's a tossup, but one thing's for sure, instead of stalling, the auto will still be running, and pulling, even when the vehicle is dead stopped. Something to think about.
The H1 Alpha's mpg figures. Where's you get 'em? Dmaxes get 12mpg on the freeway pulling a 10,000lb fifth wheel! I find it really hard to believe that the H1 Alpha only gets 12mpg.
Neat work though. I LIKE it.

Thanks!
True about the difference in crawl speeds between autos and manuals. They should be in separate charts.
About the H1 Alpha, Hummer didn't report official MPG figures on their website, so I had to do some searching. Here's one source at
Autobytel. Not all sites gave mpg, but all that did agreed, so I used their numbers.
