my dealership is just the definatelly not that slow here. We went in Saturday for an oil change and they said it would be a four hour wait. When we pulled up there were atleast 10 other hummers there. We went into the show room and there was only one sales office that did not have anybody in it. I guess it all depends on where you are at.

I was at the dealership in Las Vegas.

I was at my dealer after service and walked into the Hummer show room. It was a ghost town too. There was an X and an H2 in the show room

There was one guy at a desk in the office. I had to ask him to look at an Alpha H3.

He acted like he was doing me a favor and had a flunky go get the key so I could see the engine. I said I allready had an H3 and the GF bought a Corvette from the dealer.

I said you ought to have an Alpha in the showroom with the hood open and one out by the street so people could see it.

I'll probably go check out our delalership next week, just from curiosity and see if they have any good deals (which I doubt, they never seem to have any good deals in my town..). I however plan on trading-in once they get H3's with both lockers and V8.

I was at that dealership as well (Towbin Hummer) buying my 08 H3 a few weeks ago and while it was not totally dead in there it was no way as busy as it was in 06 when I bought my first Hummer.

Towbin Hummer in Vegas gave me a killer deal by the way and Im sure the drop in Hummer sales and high gas prices had something to do with it.
Anyone in Vegas want to buy a Hummer ask for Natalie or Phil at Towbin and tell em Davyo sent ya,, I think I get a free tank of gas or some cash for refuring anyone.

Me thinks Hummer dealerships everywhere are very eager to make a sale, "now" is a very good time to purchase a Hummer.

7-10 bucks? Poop! What about a Diesel in The H2? Tell me, I was reading a post for a H2 with an Allison and Diesel engine and they were saying 20+ MPG. Is that correct? How come the Chevy 2500's with the Alli and Diesel don't get that? OR do they?

My '02 Dmax 4x4 extracab longbed could get 23mpg on the highway. It rarely got below 19 empty. 16-17 with a trailer with the H3 and full of stuff.

Diesel's work. I wish the EPA goobs wouldn't have screwed the pooch and made diesel $5 a gallon!!!!!

I still think the 4.5 diesel would be the hot ticket!

That better be bullsh!t..............

It won't be just Hummer owners that will be ready to riot if that's the case!

If those Arabs in control, want to stay in control, that sh!t aint gonna happen soon.........

Our gas in the US is cheap compared to other places, if we are paying 10 bucks a gallon it would be 20 bucks overseas and 15-17 in Canada!

One of the reasons for our higher prices is because of the drop in the value of the dollar, in large part from the budget deficits we've been running up.

When buying oil on the world market our dollar is simply not worth what it used to be, as a result it takes a lot more dollars and will till the slide in the value of the dollar stops, according to he article.

I read a comparison where the price of oil versus Euros, has not made as drastic of a climb. Their high taxes on gas is also in part what drives their prices up.

I'm new to these boards, so forgive me for the critique:

You are right on track with the devaluation of the dollar leading to higher gas prices, but with respect to the trade deficit - devalued currency actually lowers the nominal and (perhaps) real value of the trade deficit. Supply and demand of a particular currency will determine that currency's value.

Exactly. Why do we let opec set gas prices in Canada and U S, With Alaskan ,Gulf ,Tar Sands ,North Sea, Mexican And Venezuelan Oil Opec should not be setting prices here. But our producers love it because they reap hideously huge profits while they blame the Arab countries. If we maintain our oil prices where they should be our economies would be going full bore instead of on the verge of bankruptcy .

For once, I agree with you.
