I was driving yesterday, and these 2 guys (waiting at the bus stop) both gave me the FU finger as I drove by. I was going the speed limit on a residential street and was the only one around! I can't believe there are people that actually do that kind of thing! I don't know if it was because I was in an H2 or if they would have done it if I was in a Civic. I wanted to stop and say 'you are the losers waiting for the bus!' but I didn't. It's an uneducated bunch of people who don't like Hummers, they don't get that much different gas milage than any other full size SUV or truck. A buddy at work has a new 2008 Toyota Tundra, and his mileage computer says 17.3 L/100 km, and my H2 is reading 16.9 L/100 km, so I'm actually getting BETTER gas milage than a Tundra! I bet he never gets the FU!
WHATEVER LOSERS!

 

They are just losers who wish they were driving a Hummer.

 

You summed it up best when you said they were waiting at the BUS STOP. Jealousy is an ugly emotion isn't it?

 

16.9 never ever, heard of that good of mileage on an H2.

 

16.9L/100 km, I don't know if it makes any difference, but I don't have the roof cross bars on and the 3rd row seats are out. It is an 2008 and I try to drive 'light.'

 

Ya, I think you nailed it when you said "uneducated." When I traded in my '03 Infiniti FX35 for an '07 H3 I received comments about gas mileage from co-workers, friends, family, even my 13 year old! We don't take the HUMMER on long trips and I did most of my commuting on my Ducati. While neither vehicle would win awards for conserving gas, is there really much of a difference?

First....they were jealous.
Second......they were upset you were getting better mileage in your Hummer instead of the bus that gets 5 miles per gallon.

Next time that happens just wave at them and give them a friendly honk. That has never happened to me but thats what I would do.

 

I have to say that's a pet peeve I have about public transportation here in the western states . . . seeing a huge bus that is often carrying less than five passengers. What a waste of taxpayer money.
