10,000 mile critique of the 2008 H2

[mikejr]

OK all.....just clicked over 10,000 miles on the 08 on a trip to myrtle beach this past week.

My impressions....well first and foremost...the beast likes high octane fuel the best. Any lagging or hunting for gears when rolling slowly was eliminated by using 93 octane fuel.

It rolled 85 to 90 for hours on end on the interstates, when rolling 80 the engine was turning about 2000 RPMS, anything over 80 and it upshifted a gear and would run about 2800 RPMS.

Got it up to 100MPH and it was as steady at that speed as going 55. Was running out of room or I would have seen what top speed was.

SO all in all props to Hummer for the 08 drive train!

The interior...gone are the plastic squeaks...cant say enough about the interior. Love it.

The Nav unit...was spot on! Great system and really works well. Her name by the way is Lola...and she is happy to tell you where to go!

Lets see....oh...heated washer fluid rocks for getting the 1000 bugs off the windshield when rolling down the interstate. Just uses alot of washer fluid.

Paddle shifters were nice in the mountains of WV on I-79...made it easy to down shift on the hills.

and mileage.....a WHOPPING 12.7 MPG....but pushing a brick that fast is going to use some fuel!

Great machine....cant wait to see what the do in 09!
