The Hummer IS A LIFESTYLE and a statement! I rented an H3 on a business trip from Avis and bought one the next week. Now I'm in the H2 and getting close to 13 mpg, but I really don't care, because I have so much fun with it. I filled up the tanks on my boat for the 4th of July weekend - $723, that would run my Hummer for a long time and I get daily pleasure from the Hummer and it's far more reliable than the boat - this hole in the water that I throw money into way too often.
I'm not going to let the traders or the camel drivers change my lifestyle. There is a lot more oil out there than they want us to believe! I'm six foot four and I could never be comfortble in a Yaris or a Fit, much less I could never haul all the "stuff" for the boat in it & I definitely wouldn't look forward to driving one.

same here; I get 12, maybe 13 mpg since I drive short distances around the town and nearby areas, hardly ever freeway. I will never consider getting rid of my H3 for the fuel price reason. If I'll get rid of H3, it will be because I'll go for H2. Screw it. If I had to commute daily long distance, I'd get a 2nd vehicle (regular car, not the ****in POS Prius) with better mileage, and still keep my 3...
