Guess I was right!

 

Yep, but I drove with economy in mind (no jackrabbit starts,etc...). 6spd with ~3.70 rearend and I NEVERdrove over 65 (actually drove @ 63). The Cummins is a freakin' fuel miser, especially with an aftermarket tune. I had an aftermarket tune and a better exhaust and those were the only mods. Pure city I would get around 16 but on the highway 19 and even sometimes 20 was no problem (once again, staying below 65). Cummins makes an inline 4 cylinder which would be perfect in an H3 -especially with a manual tranny.

Rut row, Raggy!

 

Well... I love Humzilla. I feel safe and for me I can't justify compromising my safety for gas mileage

 

THats funny...My dealer can't get H-3's fast enough & said that the H-2's are still flying out the door as soon as they arrive. Granted they sell more 3's, but he did say that the H-2's are 25% of hi s business.

 

My dealer was telling me that they are having to help some dealers near the Detroit area due to low inventory

 

Let's cut through all the Liberal Media Hype!

Using the fuel cost calculator and these variables; 14 city 18 highway, 60/40% city/highway driving, and 10,000 miles a year, my TOTAL Yearly fuel cost at 4.00 per Gallon is $2,603 dollars. Now I don't know about you but if I can afford a $37,000 truck I can afford $2,600 in gas a year. That's $216.00 a month to drive an H3...I'd say that's a bargain at any price. If yer scared, sell your soul and buy a Prius, we'll all point and laugh as you drive by!

 

Ummmm to be fair to the liberal Media, I was just watching Fox news air a special report about the high cost of oil. I hate to tell you, this is NOT a liberal thing or a conservative thing. I believe that sayingthat itscosting you "X" $$ extra a year to keep your hummer on the road is a little narrow in perspective. Its also costing us extra to put food on the table, clothes on our back and heat in the house. I agree (up to a point) if your driving a hummer you can afford the gas. I also know of friends and family who have lost jobs (good jobs) due to the high cost of fuel and a sagging economy.

That's encouraging but not the story around here.

 

We are no shorter on oil than we were 30 years ago. They are raising prices while still recording record profits. There isn't a problem other than a monopoly problem. And if the LIBERALS would allow us to drill our own oil we wouldn't have to rely on them as much or pay their prices. They have us hostage and they know it. I and you will just keep on paying the prices because we Americans want what we want. Hell, the prices didn't effect to of the biggest sporting events this weekend. The Coca Cola 600 and the Indy 500 had full houses. Took alot of gas and ticket sales to make that happen.
I'm not discounting what you say about knowing some people that have lost their jobs, but the stupid political scene in our country has ALOT to do with what is going on. IMO Everything is always uneasy right before a Presidential election, the uncertainty of what's to come. Americans are fickle, we were pissed and wanted blood for 9-11 but we don't want to pay the price it takes to do that now. Thus is causing buyers to be cautious and effecting everything else. Built too many houses, supply became bigger then the demand, thus our current housing market. NOW, the arabs have us by the ba*** with the oil prices. Give it time and stop panicking, you are just doing what they wanted to do to us back in 2001.
I'm not even going to get started on global warming...
