Well, not the most intelligent\accurate comment.

Here is why:


The fact that most owners who purchased their H2's back in 03,04, & 05 were not concerned with the gas prices. In march of 03 the avg. price was 1.72. Now, in 2006-2008 the prices sky rocketed, so if you bough an H2 during the summer of 2008 then the above quote would apply, but for those who purchased their H back in the day...then I understood the rant.

i bought mine in 08 right after the gas prices spiked. i had so many dirty looks when i went to the gas station it was great.

I like the size and performance of the H2 in the snow. As several have said here, it's hard to beat the performance of the H2 in the snow. Gas is expensive on these 6000 lb plus non aerodynamic vehicles, but to me the fun factor makes up for all that. My H2 has been one of the most reliable American built vehicles I've ever owned! If the fun factor is gone, it might be time to look around. I saw a silver 4 X 4 Hyundai Tucson with big tires at the gas gas station, and the onwer claimed he was averaging 23 mpg in mixed city/highwway.
