Hours vs Miles vs Hummer
Here's a little interesting information. I just realized my new Hummer H2 has an hourmeter. I was surprised to see how many hours vs miles I put on in a month.
750 miles
40 hours on the meter
1 month
avg 18.75 mph
Now my wife uses the truck as a baby hauler and I understand it isn't at 4500 rpm all the time but it allowed me to grasp the Hrs. vs Miles thing a little better when trying to relate it to my boat.
Note:
Pulls the 36 Spectre like a champ - boat+ trailer+ fuel = 10k lbs
Avg mpg 9
mpg while towing 2

It may.....I have no idea. I jsut wondered because the new Excursion engine is a 6.0 diesel. If it is gas....that's not too much power for pulling.

I JUST CHECKED WITH THE LOCAL DEALER... THE H2'S DO ONLY COME WITH GAS ENGINES... THEY ARE EVERYWHERE AROUND HERE, THERE IS ABOUT FOUR IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD ALONE.
I DON'T THINK I WOULD TRUST TOWING MUCH OF ANYTHING BEHIND IT WITH THAT SHORT WHEEL BASE... HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR EXCURSION NORT?

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING...
THEY ARE REALLY COOL, BUT THAT'S HORRIBLE IF THAT IS TRUE.... 9mpg SUCKS AS IT IS, BUT 2mpg FORGET THAT BS!!!!!!!!!!
ARE YOU SELLING YOUR EXCURSION? OR TRADING?

It's true
The H2 gets get's an honest 9mpg for city work. Maybe ....and I say maybe, 11 on the highway. Other than that I love the truck and I have had few problems. The dealer has been friendly and while being a german car enthusiast I have overall positive feelings twords the vehicle.
2 mpg while towing a 10 k load. It has the instant fuel meter and unless it's wrong (pump time says its not) it's two mpg.
However, as a towing vehicle it's a beast. roughly 9 inches thiner than the new Factory Spectre Dually (Ford 350). The all time 4 wheel drive combined with the tight air suspension and fat tires makes it feel as stable and powerful as the dually hands down. I've towed with both.
I am not trying to start a pissing match just an interesting observation.
Fever, I think your right the aerodynamics of this Tonka Toy are sad, but it looks cool.
Just one thought....
How much fuel do you burn on a sunny day out boating?????
Whats 500 bucks a year more for a cool truck that get crappy fuel economy.
++++ bought it for the wife ...she's happy. When she's happy I get laid.
