Anyone on this forum who has a problem with a “gas guzzling” H3 better check yoself. That is the most assinine excuse ever. If you really cared so much about the oil sitiatution, you’d all be driving a toyota prius. Don’t call the pot black, you fucking kettles. Fuck, i read kyle’s post a bit too late. ---

> [@Daddie](#): > > Anyone on this forum who has a problem with a “gas guzzling” H3 better check yoself. Thanks for the headsup, so I did check myself. Her 1715 mile trip from Benton, AR to Camp Pendalton, CA used more gas than me using my tow vehicle getting 11 miles per gallon in tow and racing at ~9 miles per gallon doing a race school **AND** 3 hour enduro. That is assuming she is getting the full rated 20 miles per gallon. And that was one way, I’m sure she plans a return trip. > [@2TurboZ](#): > > How many of you on the board drive your car normall to get the gas mileage it should, or have mods done to decrease the fuel efficiency of the vehicle? I get 27 city/34 highway rated is 26 city/35 highway To be fair I rarely get into stop and go traffic that often, also my car no longer has an overdrive (5th) gear, and I still get almost rated mileage in 4th. I run the smallest wheel and tire combination possible to reduce unsprung mass and rolling resistance. I also overinflate my tires to improve economy and check regularly. I am even considering running base model brakes on my fiances SE-R to allow for 13" wheels and tires. ---

sorry she lost her son i am sorry but i dont even think the pain work is that great, i mean it is good, but I have seen so much better down on cars rolling down the street on cruise nights everyone has every right to say what they damn well feel like, its part of the reason he is driving. Also how the fuck is the H3 rated at only 20mpg, i get better than that in my yukon. ps I am right and you all are wrong also if they ever offer the diesel in the H3 like they keep saying they will I am all over that like flies on shit, i mean who doesn’t want the ability to drive through 24" of water ---

Holy. Fucking. Shit. This woman lost her son while he was fighting for his country but rather than go crazy or turn to alcohol or something equally destructive, she created a rolling tribute to help herself cope and all you guys have to say is it’s the wrong kind of car or the politics of the war which her and her son had nothing to do with were wrong?

If gas and oil is the real issue: You shouldn’t be on a car forum. **Racing is one of the biggest wastes of petrol. It serves no purpose except waste natural resources for pure entertainment. But I am sure you all will tell me otherwise. “But omg she is wasting gas. Lets go to the track yo!”** lol Seriously though, if you guys care that much about Hummer’s wasting gas. You should do what Jan said, take a bus. Start a protest about the automotive sports industry. You guys know how many gallons those cars suck down during a race. But, that’s different. That industry is make a fortune off depleting resources. But it’s ok, it’s not some lady in a Hummer. I don’t think she needs a vehicle of that size ( we all know women can’t pull trailors ). I also think gas mileage is a big deal. But STFU guys. Howie said it best: Pot, kettle. Fuck I entered one of these bs threads again. ibflames ---
