MVR, I have enough experience with dyno testing of sportbikes (which also run about 15% loss) to agree emphatically. Well said.

With all due respect, Taz, a Hummer service manager or engineer is not going to run around saying the H2 is a pig...they are going to "stretch" the truth. IMO, believing everything they say is akin to believing what Hitlery Clinton says.
