DETROIT (Reuters) - Hummer owners, frustrated with the vehicle's excessive fuel consumption, ranked the SUV last in a benchmark poll of vehicle quality, according to a survey released by J.D. Power and Associates on Tuesday.

My truck gets 15 around town and 20 on the highway... I like the V-8 power but when gas pushes $2.00 a gallon... yikes - I have 2 18 gallon tanks.

That's, like, *thinking hard* 13 bucks or something.

FLASH! Hummers SUCK.


Edit: 99.9% of all Hummers are driven by 98 lbs blonde women to the mall and back

my friends and I were joking about this while loading up my Jeep Cherokee for Moab last week...

I think vehicles should be given based on need. Since we were taking my Jeep into psuedo-backcountry on this trip and ran out of room, well, I think someone should give me a hummer!

$66.00 was my most expensive fill up this year... not even 2 full tanks.

Now that was uncalled for.

well, at least you can adjust the tire pressure accurately. i think they should be puttin 110 psi in the ****ers to get better mileage LANCE ARMSTRONG style.

hummers are friggin awesome...................when used for their intended purpose. i had an absolute blast in the marine corps humvee school; driving through water up to the windshield, super steep off camber gorge crossings, launching dunes.....


but when i see them all prettied up driving around the city.....makes me want to key it!


any of you military monkeys that have ridden/driven them: why are there always a plethora ***big word points*** of 90 degree angles inside the hummer? i was always afraid to wreck in one because i knew i'd be stabbed by one of the many sharp edges surrounding the "cockpit".

one good note: marine corps hummers have an added bonus on the freeway at speeds over 50mph: they become excellent massage vehicles due to the many different vibrations

 

[RhinofromWA]

What? Did they buy it thinking it would get any type of gas mileage?

I need to bitch slap every hummer owner in that servey......

Servus.

You will forgive me if I have no pity.

1 gallon = 3.79 l

1 liter of Unleaded = €1.08

€1.08 = $1.24

$1.24 x 3.79 = $4,70

Call me when your gallon costs that much.
