It usually does if you drink it.
Simple math. Expect to get 8-12 MPG. Check your current miles per year/month/week (or what ever you track) and do some multiplication with today's gas prices. Factor in license tags too, especially if your state includes weight in the formula for registration fees. Only you can tell if you can afford it.
Really, though. It's sort of stupid asking a bunch of HUMMER enthusiasts if they think the H2 is worth it. Of course it is!

Re: hummer H2 owners in here
We all bought one cause we thought it was worth it. Don't take our word for it. Go out and test drive one and then decide.

Re: hummer H2 owners in here
If you are worried about gas prices then you should not buy an Hummer.  |

That's not very good.

I fully expected to get between 25 and 30 mpg and have been seriously dissappointed. There's no way I can afford gas, now.
Actually, this reminds me of the time I bought a condo in Vail and couldn't afford to buy lift tickets. |

Re: hummer H2 owners in here
i just got my 06 sut 2 days ago and i can't count how many people talked to me about the gas issue!!  i make a point to tell these people that high performance and luxury suv's have about the same miles per gallon.
i talked with a hummer guy who lives in schaumburg to and all he was doing was bitchin about fillin the tank! sometimes i feel hummer owners are the people who do the most bitchin and complainin!  |

When people ask me how many miles per gallon I get, I smirk at them and nod up and down saying "8 MPG" like "Yeah baby"
