Gas Hog!?!
I had my H3 parked at the hospital the other day and when I came out there was a note on my windshield. Someone wrote gas hog on it. The funny thing is that I was parked next to a full size ford pick-up that I know gets worse gas mileage than my H3. It is just sad that people are ignorant and just assume that every Hummer gets 4 mpg. My Xterra got worse mpg than my H3 but I don't see anyone ganging up on Nissan owners, well they do, just not for that.

Re: Gas Hog!?!
When I was in Las Vegas, someone left an entire dialog on my windshield. It said I should be ashamed for owning an H1! It was all written on a ripped piece of paper and H1 and H2 must have been written 10 times... never a mention of a H3. They didn't even know what type of Hummer it was.  We also have a Jeep Grand Cherokee that happens to take more gas then my H3. People just think HUMMER and don't care to know the facts.

Re: Gas Hog!?!
Dammm tree huggers are really stupid, I'm shure that you're H3 had H3 on it in at least 3 places on it.

Re: Gas Hog!?!
Guy next to me gassing up the other day started in on me about my "Gas Hog". I pointed out I had a smaller engine than his Honda Pilot.
Acutally I just looked and I have the same size engine, but 1 less cyl than he does.

Same gas station today. This time an older feller came up and wanted to look the H3 over. He really liked it. Then after he went back to his car, another feller walks by with a coffee and says "Nice". Better crowd today.

Re: Gas Hog!?!

Re: Gas Hog!?!
Just got back from a little weekend in the Adirondack Mtns in NY. Got about 20.5 mph on the tank. All "highway", some interstate 90, but most, 2 lane thru the hills. Not a lot of stop and go though. Not bad!
No roof rack, not much over 70, no A/C used. Pretty light/even foot on the gas.
