Your numbers are off, ours is an 07, Hwy it gets 27, city 17. We have tested it several times.
I am buying gas from the person behind the counter. You cannot bait someone who could care less about you. |

The "MPG Estimates from Drivers Like You" section lists mileage of 68 in real-world driving, but it might be that only those with very high mileage are likely to enter their data. A point to rkzenrage. |

Of course, I'm kidding -- H2s and their low Tahoe chassis have as much to do with off roading as, well, Chevy Tahoes. This is all besides the point, however, and the real story is about a dense gas station owner that shut down to "help the consumer" by, uh, removing one more piece of local competition so other stations can raise their prices. Good job, dumbass. That'll show 'em! Maybe he is right. We can only hope that prices continue to go up, now, to encourage some alternatives so we can cut away from this addiction that has only one possible end. Sick of high gas prices? Tired of paying out a chunk of your paycheck so you can drive your car thirty-five miles, alone, to your job downtown from your beautiful suburbs? Shut up and ditch the SUV, move closer to town, start conserving, or all of the above. It's only going to get worse. |

Not really interesting as such. My future wife lives in a desert due to severe arthritis and flatly refuses to move to me and get hooked on painkillers again. Women! Go figure!

How many kegs of beer and cases of chips will it hold? How many suitcases can a family of 4, take to Wally World? How far up the fire trail, to the hunting/fishing lodge, will it climb? How many surf fishing rod holders will the front bumper handle. Does bringing 500 lbs of salt home, as I did today, effect the mileage? At the price of vehicles these days, very few can afford a complete set of them. That means most have to find the Crescent (adjustable) Wrench or Vice-Grips, that will do what they want to do, the best. A two car family has the luxury of splitting the duties between vehicles, but the reality is, in many families both get driven to work. Even when only the husband works, unless you marry Jinx, the wife wants the lighter duty, more mileage vehicle for her kid taxi.* To me, the Prius looks like a one-trick pony that wouldn't serve my needs(wants) very well. Besides, it doesn't look good on me. *Yeah, I know, sexist stereotyping. It's just an example, deal with it.

But I have taken it to the top of the highest paved road in the US. It sounds like you have a very active lifestyle. But you might want to work on reducing your salt intake. I hear it's bad for your blood pressure. |

But...it doesn't take me about five or six gallons of Coke a day just to earn a living and discharge my other duties and activities.

What a load of crap. When people flipped me off in my H2 I just ran em off the road. Idiots. That is some screwed up logic assumptions there...

That said, if they're getting 12mpg chances are they can't afford to do that stuff anyway. Everyone has to find their balance of priorities Quote:
