Having test-driven both the H1 and the H2, I am not one to playa-hate. They are both solid cars, with impressive climbing and off-roading skills. Unfortunately, neither civilian model gets much off-roading exposure, based on how many I see parked at Starbucks and Coffee Bean, and the Hummer has become a poser symbol, like the RAZR will shortly be.So nothing brought me greater joy than seeing that a local dealer - Hummer of Thousand Oaks - is storing hundreds of unsold H2s and H3s at remote parking lots, so as not to spook the customers. The fine folks at TheMessThatGreenspanMade blog managed to snap some pics of the Hummer rainbow sitting behind a Hyatt in Thousand Oaks. I'll bet the folks living in McMansions in Thousand Oaks are very excited about seeing the Hummers burn through 5 gallons of fuel (that's what - $14?) as they make the 1.1 mile journey from lot to lot and back. And GM is increasing H3 production?

"5 gallons per 1.1 mile" or 5 miles per 1 gallon? there is a difference, like $14 bucks vs. about $3 bucks. Unless your referring to starting and warming the car, which they don't do at the dealers, because they couldn’t' care less about car maintenance. So with the start and a minute warm-up and the 1.1 mile drive I would say its about (MAX) 2 gallons of fuel wasted, but not 5 gallons, and yeas there is a difference between $6 bucks (which is MAX) $14
