I am new to this forum but I'm wondering if a few of you guys could find a little time to help me out. I am a junior and California Univ. of PA and taking oral communications right now. I have been asked to present my speeches on SUV's vs. Hybrids (which I'm sure many of you despise haha). Anyways Please take a few minutes and answer some (or preferbly all) the questions you feel comfortable answering. Also any comments you would like to add is greatly appreciated as I would like many opinions for speech....
So here are a few questions...
1) Why did you purchase an H2? (do you use it offroad, or just like the size and comfort etc.)
2) When purchasing did you consider the gas mileage? Would this have impacted you differently if you knew the situation w/ prices now?
3) What kind of mileage are you personally experiencing?
4) Have any of you claimed the vehicle for business purposes?
5) Have you been involved in an accident in your H2? If so, where you injured?
6) And finally please feel free to add any of your own opinions. I am open for anything including phone interviews and or personal emails.
Thank you very much I appreciate any help you guys give. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>


1. I purchased my H2 because I liked it. Still do - only more so after owning and driving it for a while.

2. Sure, I considered the gas mileage. Being the eco-friendly type, I work out of my home so I don't have to waste gallons of fuel sitting on the freeway at idle polluting the air like all of those little commuter cars do. I already knew gas prices were going to rise - in fact I can't, off the top of my head, name ANYTHING that has gone DOWN in price over the last decade or so.

3. I get about 13mpg on the highway and less in town or when towing.

4. No.

5. No.

6. I love my H2. Feel free to contact me privately for more info on the many reasons why.

Out of curiosity, why would you think people who drive H2's hate Hybrid cars? It's actually quite the other way around - all of the intolerance and hatred are directed AT us, not coming from us. Most folks around here couldn't care any less what someone else drives.

But more importantly, thank GOD you are majoring in oral communications, because you can't write worth a damn.
