Hummer H2 license plate MPG MIA

It’s no secret that the Hummer H2 Tank SUV is not the most eco friendly when it comes to gas comsumption.  In fact, from my research Hummer does not have to particpate in publishing EPA ratings to show consumers the average MPG this vehicle gets.  I read several reports of the Hummer averaging anywhere from 7 MPG to 13 MPG.  I have a feeling the guy who got 13mpg was driving down hill with the wind going in his direction and the A/C turned off!  I happen to love Hummers and secretly, I’ve always wanted to own this big, powerful get outta my way or I will drive over you machine.  I think deep down every man wishes he could own one of these at some time in his life. 

Just one problem, the fact that the MPG is MIA!

I did the math.  The H2 has a 32 gallon tank (sheesh!) and in Phoenix, AZ premium gas is selling for about $3.50 per gallon totalling $112 per fill up.  I conservatively used 10 MPG to figure out how many miles a driver would get on one tank and that numbers comes to 320 miles.  Thats the exact same mileage I get in a tank with my Nissan 350z and my Pathfinder.  One difference, I spend less that $60 to fill up those vehicles!

Hummer drivers, I don’t know how you guys do it.  That is one expensive tank.  I guess like the saying goes, you’ve got to pay to play.  I do have one question.  Are there any liberal democrats that own a Hummer?  I think I know the answer to that but someone prove me wrong.
