So, what’s with the Hummer H2’s fuel economy?

Question

The Hummer H2 is notorious for having poor fuel efficiency, and is often used as the poster child for gas guzzling SUVs. In city driving, some owners report as low as 8-10 mpg, while others are getting 13-14 mpg on the highway. This is a topic that often causes intense debate over environmental responsibility, American automotive excess, and the actual price of owning such a vehicle. Now let’s see what H2 owners and critics have to say about its thirst for fuel.

Abhinit · Accepted Answer

The fuel economy criticism I think is valid. Vehicles like the H2 are the kind of mentality that is quickly becoming yesterday’s news in a world that is increasingly climate conscious.

Nakul · Answer

It’s exaggerated by people about how bad it is. It's thirsty, yes, but if you're not lead footing it everywhere you can get reasonable (for its size) mileage.

Rahul · Answer

I sold my H2 for its fuel economy. Fun, but I couldn't justify the cost anymore with rising gas prices.

Naresh · Answer

Some mods and careful driving has helped me improve my H2's efficiency a bit. Now I can get 14-15 mpg on the highway, which is still not great, but better.

Abhinav · Answer

No doubt the fuel economy is terrible. Of course, we can’t forget that most full size trucks from the same era weren’t much better. That's just the image of the H2.

Charan · Answer

In my H2, I average about 11 mpg, but the smiles per gallon make up for it. I can justify the fuel costs; it’s not my daily driver.

Shobhit · Answer

If you're buying an H2, you don't care about gas mileage. It’s like complaining that a supercar isn’t practical for grocery runs.
