Saving On Gas
Hi all Hummerings! Question. How do you save on fuel at the pump? I've heard a lot solutions as to saving on gas. Really want to know as this will be my everyday vehicle. I even heard about someone spending $140 a week on gas. All responses are welcome. Thank You! |
There is no magic way to save on gas. Drive it, fill it up and repeat.

My question would be why did you buy an H2 if you are worried about the cost of gas?

Inflate them as much as possible and keep an eye on those PSI. |

I feel you... but yes, it is a gas guzzler and that's part of the appeal.

This question has been asked more times than I can count. You said it is a vehicle you have always wanted, congrats on finally picking one up! However, just like an old muscle car, you're going to pay like crazy for gas. Matter of fact, I think my old Camaro used to get better gas mileage than my 2. There is no chip, tune, or anything else that will make a massive difference of more than a few MPG at most.

Although, percentage wise, even just an extra 2 MPG is a huge improvement ;-) |
Congrats on finally getting your 2! It is definitely a unique beast. Unless you have deep pockets, using it as a daily driver will be rough, for both gas and repairs. What I've done is get a very fuel efficient car for driving to work and unleash the Hummer on the weekends. As it ages, I find almost each time I drive it something else is wrong, and I barely drive it. Maybe it's my OCD but if something doesn't work on the truck I gotta make it work. My next project is taking my entire dash apart to replace an actuator and refurbish my climate control module. I don't trust any mechanics to be as meticulous or careful with taking apart my interior as I would be.
