Well, maybe some people are just having second thoughts about owning a Hummer because of the fuel prices.

I remember all those “gas shortages” so very well and like you would probably belong in the “seniors club” if they had one here. I keep forgetting that most of my friends on this forum are the same age as my children.

 

I good tune can help MPG. Optimizing the timing to your grade of fuel will result in the best utilization of your fuel. Adjust shift points to get you in a higher gear to lower engine RPM (without lugging) will also help MPG.

 

Thanks for the ideas.
You gotta understand where um coming from when i ask this question.
I got my H3 when i was 16, Dad bought it used with 17,000 on it, didnt even ask for the thing, my idea of a first car was a 2005 toyota 4 runner- but he suprised me with my Hummer-whats a kid to say, no Dad i dont want a hummer. Any ways Dad bought the car, he makes the payments, pays for the insurance, and for the gas. As long as i was making good grades in school and playing football after school he said that he'd pay for my gas.I got tired of playng football and quit back on may 1st, he said GET A JOB, so i took the hint that i was going to have to pay for my own gas from now on. I havent gotten a job yet but when i get out of school for the summer i am going to get one. so back to my origional question: all i wanted to do is see what i could to make it last longer cause i really dont want to get rid of my H

 

Damn, you are stuck between a rock and a hard place. It might be easier to go back to playing football. [sm=smiley6.gif] Just take everyone’s advise and maybe you can let your girlfriend drive her car whenever you can. [sm=badidea.gif] Maybe that's not so cool. [sm=forgetit.gif]

 

Hey every 16 year old wants a hummer...... and the vehicle's not bad either.

Hey dogg, I remember the long lines, the rationing and the (gasp) prices - guess I'm another old fart.

NEW INFO ON ME--- Ha check this out, i called my employer yesterday to find out when i start my job. Turns out that they cant hire me again for a summer job due to remodeling of their office. So now i'm stuck with out a job and i have no way of making money to fill up my Hummer. I like my H, i can just about get any girl at my school by telling them what kinda car i drive Haha, but i just might have to sell it so that i can afford the gas... this really sucks

So now its either
Sell it and get a car
catch a ride with a friend every where
or
get a cheap car that gets good gassthat gets me from A to B

 

or find a different job

 

Agreed! Reef, there are alot of jobs out there. Go find another one, or start playing football again.

OH! I know a good Army Recruiter that could help ya out

 

Then you could drive a real Hummer! [sm=americanasmiley.gif]

 

Nothing wrong with playing football and getting a job. I would have given anything for a PW like a Hummer when I was in high school. I think a Hummer is worthj working for. You will figure it out.
