ya, its steep, but you probably get 15mpg, so you can make 780 miles for $228 or about $0.29/mile or about $29,000 for 100,000 miles for just fuel costs.The truck cost $150,000 so thats a 100,000 mile fuel cost of about 19% of the vehicle price.
buy a new toyota prius for $25,000, get 45 mpg @ $3.30 and thats $0.07/mile in fuel, or $7,300 for 100,000 miles. the 100,000 mile fuel cost is about 29% of the vehicle price.
so it can be said that an H1 alpha, relative to vehicle price, has lower fuel costs than a toyota prius.

It now costs me over $200.00 to fill up the H1 Alpha. 52 gallons at $4.39/gallon

And the Alpha gets a hell of a lot more smiles per gallon.

and a nice point I like to make when being bombasted by my more liberal friends for my hummer fetish is that more CO2 isreleased from power generation than personal transportation by alot(in theUS - i had the actual statistics once, but they've slipped my mind). And it was the enviro-loons that hated nuclear power, so at the end of the day the enviro-loon crowd is responsible for more CO2 than all the SUV drivers in the country combined.
that always gets 'em to shut up for a while

Bob, do you know what "ultrablack" rims are? Is that paint or some kind of chrome?
