I own a hummer since 2005, I already replace motor one's after 350 K. and still until today that my hummer is my best vehicle that I ever bought, there is a lot of bad comments on the web about the engine, cost of gas, the worst vehicle ever America have done but honestly this is the same engine that most of Chevy & Gm truck use. so i don't care... I love how I feel driving this little monster...lol
A real Hummer H2 owner, knows how awesome they are... plus it’s obviously not a daily driving vehicle... keep that monster clean and have fun on weekends...
But if you need to worry about MPG you probably can't afford one. I have mine because there the best looking rig in the world and I smile every time i Drive it. god bless america. :)
Increase tire p.s.i. within recommended manufacturer's parameters. Drive slower. No jack rabbit starts. Take routes where you utilize more right turns than an alternate route. Attempt to maintain a constant speed when driving. No long warm ups. The vehicle warms up quicker when it's in drive. Proper alignment and tire inflation yields less resistance. Change air filter, oil and oil filter, along with transmission fluid, transfer case fluid and front/rear differential fluids for less resistance on components harvesting optimally efficient performance integrated with better petrol mileage.
A lot of people say if you have to save gas you don't need one etc. I find nothing wrong with wanting to improve your H2. I'm going to put a CAI on mines and I won't go K&N because of the cost. I will go Black Powder coated aluminum. You can get a off brand CAI and upgrade K&N filter. Thats what I'm doing due to design, the off brands are designed just like K&N but saves a hundred or 2. I put a magnaflow exhaust and high flow catalytic converters on mines a year ago and i ripped out the MagnaFlow muffler. It drones way too much inside and gets very annoying. I switched to P&D stock and it gives a nice throaty tone but does not drone under load inside of the truck. The exhaust is big enough til where it's not a issue. Thanks for the post and comments from other H2 drivers. These trucks are fun to own and a collector item!!
I get just over 13 MPG with my 05 H2 with 101,000 miles on it. I have put in a K&N air filter, synthetic oil and all synthetic fluids through out the vehicle. I also got rid of the stock cooling fan and added 2 14" electric fans. Tires being inflated is a must. My next journey will be the exhaust and thats all I am going to do with my H2.
I've owned a volt as well as a Nissan Leaf. I now own a 05 H2 and a 14 c7 probably the only hummer owner around who can appreciate a Nissan Leaf as well as a H2 both two different ends of the spectrum
My 2009 H2 SUT gets average 14 MPG. They are not as bad as everyone thinks. I get about 20mpg highway. The only thing I've done is K&N cold air intake and a spintech cat back exhaust. The Raptor doesn't even come close with its 8-10 in the city.
I've had my 2007 Hummer for 13 years and I drive it from Las Vegas where I live to the Atlantic Ocean every year or every other year, so far EIGHT trips. I usually I go EAST on I-40 and return WEST on I-10 one year, then reverse the route the next year. During my trips across country on I-10 which is mostly flat, and usually in June or December, I get 19.2 miles per gallon. On I-40 in the NORTH, which is much more mountainous, I get as high as 15 mpg on the highway in the mountains with the absolute lowest mpg on I-40 being 10.9 mpg during the dead of winter, December and temps as low as 24 degrees. In the SOUTH on I-10 the lowest mpg I ever got was 14 mpg in city traffic crawling through New Orleans in June. On the trip in the video going from Phoenix to Apache Junction on I-10, pretty flat country... I got 17.3 mpg. th-cam.com/video/zoLALesBol4/w-d-xo.html Since my 100,000 mile SERVICE where the Dealership put on new belts, changed all fluids and tuned up the fuel injectors... I am getting the worst gas mileage of the past 11 years. For the past YEAR 2018 - 2019 between 100k and 129k on my ODO, I get 16.5 on the freeway on level ground and 13.5 in the city of Las Vegas and Los Angeles. WORST GAS MILEAGE EVER and only since my 100k scheduled maintenance. I don't know if the dealership made the truck run more RICH or what they did, but my mileage has suffered over the past year. Not a problem, I don't sweat the gas use... the greatest expense of my H2 over the past 11 years is not the fuel costs... My greatest expense has been WASHING THE DAMN TRUCK. At $60 a pop with a $20 tip, washing the truck costs me way more than filling up my tank. I live in the middle of the Mojave Desert, so a good wash job lasts me... ONE WEEK! One day, there was not a cloud in the sky, no reports of rain, so I paid $80 to have a crew wash the Hummer and before I could get out of the parking lot, a HOODOO blew in buried my truck with sand and then before I could drive home, about three miles away... IT RAINED! When I got to my driveway, the truck was covered in MUD. YES! I got a RAINCHECK from the car wash and they washed it again for FREE. BUT, today... having owned the Hummer H2 11 years, first 10 years I got 19.2 miles on the highway, 16 mpg around town, only the last year have I been getting as low as 13.5 mpg in town and 14 - 16.5 mpg on the highway. Second week of August 2019, with the truck fully loaded with suitcases and heavy gear and four fat and fluffy adults and a nine year-old two weeks ago, I got 14.4 mpg on I-15 from Vegas to Los Angeles. Probably the most weight I have ever had in the truck. Oh yeah... I can gain 3 mpg by adding Chevron TECHRON full system cleaner to my fuel. It keeps the fuel injectors clean, every 3000 miles I add a large bottle to my tank. shop.advanceautoparts.com/wcsstore/CVWEB/staticproductimage//N3232/large/7080568_chv_65740_pri_larg.jpg Below... A couple snaps of My 2007 Hummer H2. Every day, someone tells me, "IT LOOKS BRAND NEW!" This photo taken August 8, 2019 after a fresh mobile wash in front of my house. dizeman.com/kong/hummer.washed.small.jpg The irony, I do take it out into the desert quite often. Of the 56 vehicles I have owned since I was 15 years-old, the Corvette I bought when I was 18 and this Hummer have been the two most economical vehicles I have owned. NEITHER required any servicing other than normal scheduled consumables. NEITHER let me down. Neither the Vette, nor the Hummer have ever disappointed me or refused to start. Worst? My Jaguar XJ-6 Vanden Plas. Needed new brakes every six months, pads were way too small for the weight of the car and the pads were not on the rear wheels, they were on the rear differential. $1,600 a pop every six months. Hummer has been a TREAT compared to the Jag. Photo of my Hummer in the desert. Wife not happy with this photo, she is actually in the portable potty/shower/dressing room, how and why I cannot see her in the photo is one of life's mysteries.

GRIP TRUCK FOR THE DAY. th-cam.com/video/UMe6zbWu5kQ/w-d-xo.html Anyway... that's my Hummer H2 story. (Jon Dize aka DIZEMAN dizeman.com)
@@dacarter70ify I am running these tires right now. th-cam.com/video/J6Vnlb_7FI0/w-d-xo.html They are not designed for the highway, they are MUD Rated tires, but I do go off-road so will replace these tires with more just like them when the time comes... I don't care about mileage. For the best mileage, run the OEM Goodyear AT 315/70R17 which are designed for the highway. Best scenario if you have a place to store them, get the Mud Tires for off-roading and when you are headed out on long road trips, throw on the GOODYEAR AT 315/70R17s for a smoother ride and better mpg.
I hate to say it, but your expected gains from and intake and exhaust are highly exaggerated. You may get one to two mpg difference. I drive an 03 H2. I've owned Dodge Ram 4wd's, Fords, and 5 different Chevrolet trucks from 2000 to 2008. Im a GM guy for sure but I don't mind trying other brands. The Dodge transfer case blew apart on the 2 hour drive home from where I bought it(truck had full service records and was well maintained), well known they had drive train issues but I thought mine had been addressed. I had a 2wd 2005 Hemi dodge truck, was fast and fun to drive for 2k miles before it dropped a valve and destroyed the engine. So no more dodges. My Ford 5.4 4x4 developed cam phaser issues, turned out to be a common issue and had to have new timing chains, guides, basically the front of the engine rebuilt at 80k miles. Then a spark plug broke off in the head. No more Fords. Every GM I've had has been dead reliable, and being that I drive all over the country for work, I've bought many, usually with around 100K miles, and usually sell them when they get over 300K. Never had a bad engine, did replace a couple transmissions on the half ton trucks, my 2500HD I just sold for 2K more than I bought it for, has 275K miles on it, and you cant even tell its running. GM is where its at in my opinion. But back to where I started, I've had my 03 H2 for years, its my driver when Im home, it has 185k miles on it, its never had a single issue, not one, and it doesnt matter what you do it doesnt get more than 12-13 mpg on the highway, and that's only if you don't exceed 65mph. it will creep up around 14 to 15 if you take long country back roads and keep it around 50-55. 80 mph is usually single digit gas mileage. Not on the hummer, which is bone stock down to the factory style BFG ATKO tires, but on my other GM trucks, I've had cat back exhaust's, and K&N full cold air intake systems, and the gas mileage is barely noticeable. It is what it is guys, its a 6500lb brick your pushing with a 320ish hp 6 liter V8. Really its under powered unless you get an 08 or 09. You can buy a programmer, or have it tuned for a bump in HP and better gas mileage, but you have to run premium fuel, and the cost difference in fuel way outweighs the extra couple mpg. I love the H2, it is extremely comfortable to ride in and drive. Its big and you can see everything around you, it has alot of luxury features for a ginormous SUV, and theirs nothing out there stock that will creep through the sugar sand at the beach like these things will. If you want one, buy one! You will love it, but don't be delusional about gas mileage, they don't pass up too many gas stations.
I drive my Hummer on the weekends. I don't worry about gas. Which is why I argued and finally negotiated with my wife. Now she complains about my gas usage. I compromised by using it on the weekends.
You're absolutely right I drive my hummer because I like them I've had been a long long time it's been a real good Is truck But I've been thinking about putting a cat back on it.... I put one on my CTS Cadillac And a Turner .. And a k&n air filter.. Thank you I'm doing a hummer this same way ... Or even if it's worth the expense The Cadillac turned out . Is great.... But if anybody knows if it would make a big difference in my hummer let me know please
I look forward to what Vehicle Modders of the Future can do to this G.P. Giant the same way the VW community has done to their Classics. Maybe one day we could have a 25mpg Highway Hummer with little to no Visual Changes at all!
I have 2003 H2 converted to run on CNG. I get the same milage but I fill at home and pay about 50 cents per gallon equivalent and i pay $1.72 at the local CNG filling station.. More power, motor lasts forever and runs great.
Did you have many things go wrong, that were covered under warranty? I’m only asking because…..I had many things fail… from Stereo System, Radiator, After Market Mirrors, water leaks from improperly installed steps (cut boot in door to thread wires through) and many other things which I can’t remember at moment…. Luckily because I drove over 70K miles before Manf Warranty was up and had also purchased Extended Warranty for after Manf Warr. If I hadn’t driven so many miles in first 3 yrs, The Issues I encountered might not have gotten covered. My Concern is that those people who “Don’t Drive That Much” to get the kinks worked out…..then sell H2 with Low Miles…… Could be an Issue for someone who thinks their getting great deal….only to have expensive things go wrong and no longer have a Factory Warranty or just have short Warranty from Dealership. Just Curious! I don’t meet too many people who’ve bought their H2s Brand New and have Broken them in by actually driving them…..not just on the weekends.
@@Leoness90210 I haven’t had anything go wrong surprisingly I’ve only replaced things like the starter water pump and stuff like that not because they failed but because they were getting old I ordered mine in 2002 and had it delivered in 2003 I specked it out just like I wanted and since then I’ve put 120,000 miles on it and I’ve enjoyed every bit of it I just had the underbody redone and it’s brand new now I also had it paint corrected and had an off wheels detail done to it so now it’s showroom condition I’ve also had the seats refurbished in perforated leather I had a 360 camera installed and a digital gauge and climate controls so everything is a screen now so yeah I think you can tell I won’t be selling it anytime soon😂 I bought it for 90k and they’re only offering me 30k for it
@@mateolopez3454 What did entail having underbody redone? Is that to keep it from rusting out! I've spent a lot of time by different beaches and have some rust due to that. Id be interested what/how they did it. I had aftermarket wheels and need to get them re-chromed or get new. I've had radiator and water pump both replaced. Mine was loaded, because it was specked out for a Pro Athlete in Scottsdale Az and then decided not to. Luckily, I had Partner Program through work and was able to get them down to cost on after market things and had a few things removed. I have Electric Steps which I've had to replace the motors, hard cover on spare tire etc. I don't ever plan on getting rid of mine either. Mine listed around 90K with all the extras, but that's not what i paid. TY for your info. I'm having issues with my sunroof and after market backup camera. Its all good though!
@@Leoness90210 so basically what they do is remove all the rust and apply a coating to prevent any new rust from forming and then they repaint the whole underbody
Choose between a Hummer , pickup truck , Semi , custom made Crawler and Monster truck .... Monster truck .... You only live once ... Might as well just make the best of it and not give a shit what people say or think .
Interestingly the hummer was rated at over 12mpg city for UK imports. For comparison the Bentley Flying Spur of the same year was rated at less than 10.
When I get knuckleheads, who ask me about gas mileage, I always tell them, that I drive it, cause I will walk away from an accident, cause of it's size, and gas is worth that..
I would tell people when I was on a long Journey when they asked about gas mpg!!! I don’t eat at 5 Star Restaurants or stay at 5 Star Resorts! 165K later, I’ll continue to enjoy my H2 and all the places it’s taken me!!!!
I don't just drive around town in my Hummer H2... It takes me places many never get to see or experience and does so in a manner that makes fuel economy the least of my considerations. I have other cars, I've owned 56 vehicles since I was 15 years-old, but thinking back, I have never enjoyed any of them as much as I have my Hummer H2. Having owned the Hummer H2 13 years, I have owned it longer than any other vehicle. I am 67, my wife 64, we recently took a 2 month, 22 state, 8400 mile road trip around all of the National Parks, Smokey Mountains, Atlantic Ocean, Chesapeake Bay, three days on Cape Hatteras Island between Sept. and November 2020 with my Hummer H2. Prior to that we spent a week exploring New Orleans, Honey Island Swamp searching for and photographing Gators and Boars and a week on Amelia Island, Florida Air Boating where my wife dragged me down a long, dark path at night, water on both sides and signs everywhere, Danger! Alligators! Not a weapon, not a flashlight while wild rabid Monkeys threw branches at us from the canopy above. The Hummer H2 took us everywhere we wanted to go, did so in style and never, NEVER LET US DOWN! Some of the places we go, if the Hummer were to stop working... somebody would die. No cell service, very little resources at all and at times 120 to 125 degree temperatures... in 13 years of owning my Hummer, I have NEVER seen transmission temps above 150 degrees and radiator temps above 200 degrees, virtually always runs at 198 degrees on the coolant, rarely deviates at all. Some of those photos are included in my gallery at dizeman.com Prior to that we spent a week at Star Wars Canyon attempting to watch and photograph military jets flying low-level maneuvers through the canyon, unfortunately, one of them flew nose-first into the canyon wall killing two pilots and injuring seven sight-seers, so that was the end of that. Prior to that, we spent a week exploring Lake Tahoe and Northern Nevada... in fact, we have spent most of our lives exploring dozens of thousands of small towns, hamlets and cities in 47 states in the United States and four foreign nations. WE HAVE DRIVEN OUR 2007 HUMMER H2 to literally thousands of towns, hamlets, cities exploring 47 states in the United States. Every nook and cranny we can find, we explore, more often than not it is the Hummer that makes it possible and provides SHELTER for us when times get tough, there are no camping spots, hotels, motels or lodges to be found. We know we can rely on the Hummer to keep us safe from predators of all species.... well, the Hummer and (3) CCW Permits that allow me to carry concealed legally in 39 states. Security is my first priority! facebook.com/photo?fbid=10222357387757123&set=a.1223078310668 facebook.com/photo?fbid=10221365650524312&set=a.3087181992095 facebook.com/photo?fbid=10221398926516191&set=a.3087181992095 facebook.com/photo?fbid=10221398937116456&set=a.3087181992095 facebook.com/photo?fbid=10220523143782170&set=a.3087181992095 dizeman.com/kong/zombiebadgeh2.jpg PS. What is the Zombie stuff all about? I am a professional photographer, have been for 46 years and way back in April of 2020 I was hoping to mount a machine gun turret to the roof of my Hummer H2 for a SELENE/UNDERWORLD or Lara Croft/TOMB RAIDER themed photo shoot, but Covid shut things down before I could finish the themed photo shoot. Ironically, 8400 miles through 22 states... though dozens of dozens of people had good things to say about the Hummer, a few questions, lots of smiles and thumbs up... not one person asked, "What's in the Body Bag?" (Lounge Chairs!) dizeman.com
Ok…I posted on another of your comments here w/?s about better gas mileage. Now I’m curious about your 3 CCW Permits that allows you to carry in 39 States legally. Crossing State Lines and knowing if they offer reciprocity from your original State, has kept me from carrying. With today’s craziness I don’t feel as safe traveling alone as Ive done previously. What does your wife carry if/when you’re not around? Thank you for any advice.
@@Leoness90210 Sorry for a late response, I missed the notice that you commented. I am a Nevada resident, so I have had a Nevada CCW for six years and when I took my CCW course in Las Vegas, my home for 45 years, the instructor gave me the tests and filled out the applications for additional CCW permits in Utah and Florida. Via reciprocity, the three states combined at the time of my certifications covered 39 states. That number can vary from time to time, because over time some states opt out of allowing other states' permits to be used in their state. Having watched how it works over the years, I noticed states sometimes act like Elementary School Children, if a state drops them for any reason, the state seems to react like... "Well, if we can't carry in your state, then you can't carry in ours. NYA! NYA!, NYA!" so, you have to be vigilant and keep an eye on each state regulation pretty much every year to keep from getting into trouble. When traveling on our 8400 mile, 2 month, 22 state Road Trip in 2020, we planned ahead as to which states we could enter with my Springfield Armory XDs 9mm 4 inch concealed on my person and which states I had to store the weapon, unloaded and in a locked container in the back of the Hummer. Originally, I had planned to take my AR-15 to Maryland, so my son and I could do some shooting, but Maryland won't even allow me to enter with the AR-15. Other states would allow the AR-15, but only allowed a 10 round magazine. I bought several 10 round magazines just for the trip, but... after realizing how many states would be a hassle and risky if I got stopped... I decided to leave the AR at home. My wife does not carry at the moment, but she is getting her Nevada, Utah and Florida CCW permits very soon so she will be ready for our 2022 travel season. She is very proficient with weapons, it seems to come naturally for her. Prior to traveling, I used the CCW Reciprocity MAP and State Gun Laws info provided here... www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/ccw_reciprocity_map/ and here... handgunlaw.us/ to plot my course as to where I would go and what I needed to do with my gun when traveling in specific states. I printed out pages of each state I was traveling through and used HIGHLITERS to mark hey details and laws I needed to pay attention to. Yes! All of it was available on my IPhone 12 Pro Max and my IPad, but being an old fart, I still like the extra security of having HARD COPIES of ROAD ATLASES and CCW STATE LAWS with me in case the DIGITAL WORLD shuts down and all I have are paper copies of the info to guide me. I have owned many guns all of my life, since my first .410 shotgun at age 12, but guns do not make my nipples hard and I don't play war games on weekends... I have guns for 2 reasons. Those required to protect me from others who would harm myself, my family or others in my immediate proximity and one or two for the bad guy, just in case he forgets to bring one when he enters my home. I am, after all... a generous man. I don't display weapons. I virtually never care OPEN, unless I am out in the wild and the holster is on my Tactical Pack where I can get to it should a Bear drop in to say Hello! Two cannisters of Bear Spray are always accessible as well. I want to be the last guy a bad guy would suspect of being his tour guide of Hell... Surprise is a good thing when weighing options of how to deal with a bad guy. I am a pragmatic and logically, if a bad guy walks into a store and see's me wearing OPEN CARRY, I instantly become his greatest immediate obstacle which he may or may not be mentally and emotionally capable of processing under stress, so I want to be the last person he could imagine might hand him an E-Ticket to Hell. Hope that I answered your question, I don't have racks full of firearms, but I do have several within reach in special places around my home just in case I get surprised by an uninvited guest. Unless there is some strange instance beyond my control, I am always carrying concealed, not only for my protection, but for the protection of those who don't like turning their life over to a bad guy with a gun. The crazies used to hide under rocks, but in 2022 they sit on top of the rock spitting on all that is good openly and freely without reservation or hesitation. Be safe! Jon Dize Dizeman.com
I have an h2 I had it for 13 years I still have it and I don't plan in sale it i dont worry about the gas I just filled it up and enjoy it i travel go to the beach all the time to the lakes and it's a head turner ,so if u going to worry about gas get a 4 cilinder car .by the way there's 3 hummers h1 h2 h3
I get 14 City 18 HWY with large 20" rims never heard of anyone getting that low my friends also are getting what i get. all we have done is new cold air intake with K&N filter.
,this guy needs a tuner that hooks to a pc timing shift points etc,,buy a tuner i am very soon hypertec look at your air fuel sensor n if you got over 90k miles they get wore n ignored they ones closest to engine are the ones that trim fuel the ones on cars past the cat just read smog fumes n do not trim fuel on most
I was getting 8.6 mpg then got a tune up and changed all my filters etc and now get 9.1 I have an H2 SUV pick-up 2005. I have a lift kit on it huge tires.
Hummers really aren’t that bad on fuel!!! I always get around 16.5mpg on Highway and 13-14 mpg per tank of fuel. Any V-8 4x4 full-size truck, is in that same ballpark!! I sold a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 with 33” tires and a 360 V-8 that only averaged 11mpg. And never got above 13mpg on a highway trip. So my H2 SUT is more fuel efficient that most V-8 trucks that were produce all the way through the last decade. So they really only considered bad on fuel if your used to driving a Prius!! For the rest of us MEN who grew up owning Trucks, there’s really no difference.
I'm getting 15 mpg average. K and N air uses oil that will mess with your Mass Air Flow sensor. Exhaust is a must. Keep tires inflated. You can remove the rear tire and carrier which weighs alot.
For the black hummer I would pay for the gas dammm hummers are so good!. hey you are acting like we are ending the world by driving hummers, people are destroying each other no need for environment . Mother nature will do what she wants if it came out of the Earth Mother nature is giving it to us!
h2 hummer looks different from anything on the road. most luxury sports cars have worse mpg,s than h2 hummers. I have mind now for over 6years, and is going no where soon.
It's a hummer who cares that's right I pass everything except a gas station. I installed a cold air intake, I also installed true duals with flow Masters sounds great.
I have chipped, cold air intake and put exhaust on H2's - doesn't really matter - I also have lifted them all so if I can pull 12mpg that's good......don't buy an H2 if you worry about $$$$ - the one I have now is just a weekend, extra vehicle
I just bought a 2004 with that size tires, (325/60R/20). Looks like I'm getting some rub on the sway bar. My first one and loving it. No Idea what MPGs are.
Actually in theory the intake and exhaust is supposed to improve MPG.... but in real life you’ll get worse. Plus most people with hummers are gonna add bigger wheels and tires/lift which kills the mpg more. Thus, ultimately 10mpg like everyone else in the end. Haha.
My H2 has 25,000 miles on it and I'm lucky to get 10 mpg period. also with a 4/10 gear ratio the H2 struggles to run 80 on the hwy. Also it is one of the slowest vehicles I've ever had lol
Then you have the wrong truck. I did a 2 month, 22 state, 8400 mile Road Trip to virtually every National Park and Monument East of Las Vegas to the Atlantic Ocean Sept. 9th thru November 4th. 2020 and if I had done 80 mph on the freeways, somebody would have run over me. I often did close to 90 mph, because trucks and cars pushed me to do so. I don't know fast my 2007 WELL MAINTAINED Hummer h2 will go, I know I have had it 90 and it had more to go, but... why on earth would anyone want to drive a SHOEBOX SHAPED SUV that weighs in my case 7200 pounds faster than 80 or 90 mph is the first place. Your argument is ridiculous at face value... how friggin fast did you want to drive a vehicle designed to be an OFFROAD/HIGHWAY HYBRID? You don't need a Hummer Dude, you need a Pilot's License. Hell, I have a Pilot's License and I land planes on roads slower than I drive my Hummer.
@@DIZEMANPHOTO I really like your Posts and Knowledge on the H2. I have an 05 since it was new. I need some advice to up my gas mileage. I have 165K which are mostly hwy miles. I took a East Coast/West Coast Journey and to Key West to regain my life after a horrific accident in a Regular SUV. So, could you give me a few tips beyond what you’ve posted here…..as I don’t trust most mechanics, because they see a woman coming and think they can get over on them. My dad taught me a lot about vehicles and made me get on creeper under the car with him. I do my research and can usually figure things out….but would appreciate any other thoughts for better gas mileage than what you’ve listed here. I’ve also been stuck in San Antonio since Covid and not on any long trips. My mpg has fallen to 9.6 and I’m driving to MI soon and hate to pay these higher prices! I was in AZ for 5 yrs, if that could make a difference. Thanks so much!
GM could have saved the Hummer brand by going with a different drivetrain. A vehicle this heavy with such a large engine with only a 4-speed transmission is a formula for gas guzzler anyway. Improved fuel systems and 6-8 speed transmissions is what's saving today's newer pickup trucks. Does a transmission upgrade exist for an H2, such as a 5-speed or 6-speed?
My 2007 came with a 4L65E, earlier years came with a 4L60E which is a really crappy tranny. I think there is a 4L70E that will drop in, but some put in a 4L80E which requires a frame brace modification and a rear differential yoke modification from what I am told. The 70 and 80 are 6 speeds.
Hummers are not for everybody. Neither are 45 foot motorhomes or water skis. This entire thread reminds me of the guy who chains a 36 foot cabin cruiser on the back of his Datsun B80 pickup truck and wonders why people are staring at him. Pick the RIGHT VEHICLE FOR YOUR NEEDS or DESIRES. Don't try to make a Fiat perform like a Hummer, nor a Hummer perform like a Fiat. I like the idea of getting better gas mileage in my Hummer H2, but honestly, to be blunt... I just could not care less! I did not buy the Hummer, because I expected to get 30 miles per gallon, nor 20, even though I have come damn close on several trips on I-10. Understand the rules of inertia, keep your engine working in good order, toss some CHEVRON TECHRON in your tank every 2000 miles and when you can, get the Hummer up to 70 mph... the inertial sweet spot, put the cruise control on and sit back and enjoy the best mileage a 6500 to 7200 pound TRUCK is going to get. If doing so gives you a headache or breaks your bank... GET A FRIGGIN SUBARU! I have one of those too for when I want 30 mpg. But I like the Hummer best of all.
No, it's not 8600, just google 2007 hummer h2 curb weight. It's 6400 - 6600 depending on options. Most of them are 6400, I own one. It's total gross weight (max cargo total vehicle weight, that's when it's fully loaded is 8600 (vehicle plus cargo)) Gross weight is NOT what the vehicle weights, that's what it weights fully loaded with cargo. Curb weight is what a vehicle weights without any cargo and is what we anyone refers to when talking about a vehicle's weight.
GodFear17, thanks for the info. I guess that's what I was referring to. I too own one since 2011 and because it weighs so much, in GA. they don't require a emissions test for anything listed at 8600 and above.
My 05 gets 12.5 mpg stock. This video didn't give me any information on how to get better mileage. Dude, you don't even own one yet and an H2 weighs 2k less than what you said. That there, discredits anything you said.
This is a real truck.not some low to the ground want to be truck.if you got to ask or got to worry.you can't afford it.dont buy one.you ain't man enough or woman enough.to run and own this truck/ monster.bye bye
Okay stop bitching about Hummer gasoline stop saying Hummers using lots of gas that's wrong let me tell you this on the company where I working I drive 2015 2500 Express van with 5.3 motor on it that van using more gas than my Hummer I got 2007 Ford f250 Super Duty is gasoline engine it's the 5.4 that truck use more gas than my Hummer I told you because I'm driving it those three vehicles
GM did not make the Hummer H2. God damn dude, you own a Hummer H2 and don't know this? AM General built the Humvee, H1, and H2. The H3 was built by GM. GM does not own the Hummer brand. Hummer is owned by AM General. AM General worked with GM to be able to mass produce the H2 and H3. Hints why there is cheap GM plastic in the H2. The H1 was built for the rich and they (AM General) didn't build much of those.
I'm getting a Hummer H2 because I can. This is America and we drive what we want.
THE BEST COMMENTS ARE THE HUMMER OWNERS!!! LOL HUMMERS RULE
Amen brother
Q
It is what it is folks... You drive an H2 because you want to drive an H2.. Whatever you drive you need gas.. I will keep mine forever..
Charles Love me to, the g2 is truly a gem
Loving mine too.
What you think about the H1 ?? Same as the H2 on gas or worse ? What SUV or big vesicle would you recommend to fit 4 Rottweilers ?
David Dacosta Nissan s-cargo
H1 8.5 mpg. H2 about 11 mpg. H3 about 15 mpg.
I own a hummer since 2005, I already replace motor one's after 350 K. and still until today that my hummer is my best vehicle that I ever bought, there is a lot of bad comments on the web about the engine, cost of gas, the worst vehicle ever America have done but honestly this is the same engine that most of Chevy & Gm truck use.
so i don't care... I love how I feel driving this little monster...lol
A real Hummer H2 owner, knows how awesome they are... plus it’s obviously not a daily driving vehicle... keep that monster clean and have fun on weekends...
But if you need to worry about MPG you probably can't afford one. I have mine because there the best looking rig in the world and I smile every time i Drive it. god bless america. :)
David Zahm it's just timeless and alway will be
DAVID DON'T RUB IT IN!! WE ALL HUMMER DRIVERS GET THE LITTLE GUYS lol
Got mine.. 03 pewter
Oooorah!
I love the H2 and they get decent mileage no matter how much the media tries to put this vehicle down.
Increase tire p.s.i. within recommended manufacturer's parameters. Drive slower. No jack rabbit starts. Take routes where you utilize more right turns than an alternate route. Attempt to maintain a constant speed when driving. No long warm ups. The vehicle warms up quicker when it's in drive. Proper alignment and tire inflation yields less resistance. Change air filter, oil and oil filter, along with transmission fluid, transfer case fluid and front/rear differential fluids for less resistance on components harvesting optimally efficient performance integrated with better petrol mileage.
A lot of people say if you have to save gas you don't need one etc. I find nothing wrong with wanting to improve your H2. I'm going to put a CAI on mines and I won't go K&N because of the cost. I will go Black Powder coated aluminum. You can get a off brand CAI and upgrade K&N filter. Thats what I'm doing due to design, the off brands are designed just like K&N but saves a hundred or 2. I put a magnaflow exhaust and high flow catalytic converters on mines a year ago and i ripped out the MagnaFlow muffler. It drones way too much inside and gets very annoying. I switched to P&D stock and it gives a nice throaty tone but does not drone under load inside of the truck. The exhaust is big enough til where it's not a issue. Thanks for the post and comments from other H2 drivers. These trucks are fun to own and a collector item!!
looking at getting a 2003 soon. always wanted one. Great video for those of us that havent purchased one yet
me too bro, now is the perfect time to buy/ gas is around 2 bucks and a saw a 2003 for around 18,000 with good miles
i just bought a 03 H2 with 56k miles for 21k.Man i love this dam thing only issue is i struggle to get in the garage lol
dont care about the gas..love my h2
I get just over 13 MPG with my 05 H2 with 101,000 miles on it. I have put in a K&N air filter, synthetic oil and all synthetic fluids through out the vehicle. I also got rid of the stock cooling fan and added 2 14" electric fans. Tires being inflated is a must. My next journey will be the exhaust and thats all I am going to do with my H2.
I've owned a volt as well as a Nissan Leaf. I now own a 05 H2 and a 14 c7 probably the only hummer owner around who can appreciate a Nissan Leaf as well as a H2 both two different ends of the spectrum
Different tools for different jobs.
Love my H2 and yeah it makes my day each time i drive it...
Great vehicle I have one since 2004 won’t buy anything else love it
I dont care what gas costs.I drive an H2.Want to save gas,buy a go cart
I can assure you, you will never get even close to that in mileage. My 09 H2 gets 11 MPG cruising down hill on the highway at 65 MPH 😂
I adore my H2 and even it's take a lot of gas, still adore it :)
My 2009 H2 SUT gets average 14 MPG. They are not as bad as everyone thinks. I get about 20mpg highway. The only thing I've done is K&N cold air intake and a spintech cat back exhaust. The Raptor doesn't even come close with its 8-10 in the city.
Wow, 20 on highway?? Seriously??
I've had my 2007 Hummer for 13 years and I drive it from Las Vegas where I live to the Atlantic Ocean every year or every other year, so far EIGHT trips.
I usually I go EAST on I-40 and return WEST on I-10 one year, then reverse the route the next year. During my trips across country on I-10 which is mostly flat, and usually in June or December, I get 19.2 miles per gallon.
On I-40 in the NORTH, which is much more mountainous, I get as high as 15 mpg on the highway in the mountains with the absolute lowest mpg on I-40 being 10.9 mpg during the dead of winter, December and temps as low as 24 degrees.
In the SOUTH on I-10 the lowest mpg I ever got was 14 mpg in city traffic crawling through New Orleans in June. On the trip in the video going from Phoenix to Apache Junction on I-10, pretty flat country... I got 17.3 mpg.

Since my 100,000 mile SERVICE where the Dealership put on new belts, changed all fluids and tuned up the fuel injectors... I am getting the worst gas mileage of the past 11 years.
For the past YEAR 2018 - 2019 between 100k and 129k on my ODO, I get 16.5 on the freeway on level ground and 13.5 in the city of Las Vegas and Los Angeles. WORST GAS MILEAGE EVER and only since my 100k scheduled maintenance. I don't know if the dealership made the truck run more RICH or what they did, but my mileage has suffered over the past year.
Not a problem, I don't sweat the gas use... the greatest expense of my H2 over the past 11 years is not the fuel costs... My greatest expense has been WASHING THE DAMN TRUCK.
At $60 a pop with a $20 tip, washing the truck costs me way more than filling up my tank. I live in the middle of the Mojave Desert, so a good wash job lasts me... ONE WEEK! One day, there was not a cloud in the sky, no reports of rain, so I paid $80 to have a crew wash the Hummer and before I could get out of the parking lot, a HOODOO blew in buried my truck with sand and then before I could drive home, about three miles away... IT RAINED! When I got to my driveway, the truck was covered in MUD.
YES! I got a RAINCHECK from the car wash and they washed it again for FREE.
BUT, today... having owned the Hummer H2 11 years, first 10 years I got 19.2 miles on the highway, 16 mpg around town, only the last year have I been getting as low as 13.5 mpg in town and 14 - 16.5 mpg on the highway.
Second week of August 2019, with the truck fully loaded with suitcases and heavy gear and four fat and fluffy adults and a nine year-old two weeks ago, I got 14.4 mpg on I-15 from Vegas to Los Angeles. Probably the most weight I have ever had in the truck.
Oh yeah... I can gain 3 mpg by adding Chevron TECHRON full system cleaner to my fuel. It keeps the fuel injectors clean, every 3000 miles I add a large bottle to my tank.

Below... A couple snaps of My 2007 Hummer H2. Every day, someone tells me, "IT LOOKS BRAND NEW!" This photo taken August 8, 2019 after a fresh mobile wash in front of my house. dizeman.com/kong/hummer.washed.small.jpg
The irony, I do take it out into the desert quite often.
Of the 56 vehicles I have owned since I was 15 years-old, the Corvette I bought when I was 18 and this Hummer have been the two most economical vehicles I have owned. NEITHER required any servicing other than normal scheduled consumables. NEITHER let me down.
Neither the Vette, nor the Hummer have ever disappointed me or refused to start. Worst? My Jaguar XJ-6 Vanden Plas. Needed new brakes every six months, pads were way too small for the weight of the car and the pads were not on the rear wheels, they were on the rear differential. $1,600 a pop every six months.
Hummer has been a TREAT compared to the Jag.
Photo of my Hummer in the desert. Wife not happy with this photo, she is actually in the portable potty/shower/dressing room, how and why I cannot see her in the photo is one of life's mysteries. Desert near Nipton, Cali.

Anyway... that's my Hummer H2 story. (Jon Dize aka DIZEMAN dizeman.com)
Jon Dize aka DIZEMAN Thank you for sharing!!!
Dude you have every answer to my question😂 thank you sir. I will be getting one soon.....what size tires are you running?
@@dacarter70ify I am running these tires right now. th-cam.com/video/J6Vnlb_7FI0/w-d-xo.html They are not designed for the highway, they are MUD Rated tires, but I do go off-road so will replace these tires with more just like them when the time comes... I don't care about mileage. For the best mileage, run the OEM Goodyear AT 315/70R17 which are designed for the highway. Best scenario if you have a place to store them, get the Mud Tires for off-roading and when you are headed out on long road trips, throw on the GOODYEAR AT 315/70R17s for a smoother ride and better mpg.
I hate to say it, but your expected gains from and intake and exhaust are highly exaggerated. You may get one to two mpg difference. I drive an 03 H2. I've owned Dodge Ram 4wd's, Fords, and 5 different Chevrolet trucks from 2000 to 2008. Im a GM guy for sure but I don't mind trying other brands. The Dodge transfer case blew apart on the 2 hour drive home from where I bought it(truck had full service records and was well maintained), well known they had drive train issues but I thought mine had been addressed. I had a 2wd 2005 Hemi dodge truck, was fast and fun to drive for 2k miles before it dropped a valve and destroyed the engine. So no more dodges. My Ford 5.4 4x4 developed cam phaser issues, turned out to be a common issue and had to have new timing chains, guides, basically the front of the engine rebuilt at 80k miles. Then a spark plug broke off in the head. No more Fords. Every GM I've had has been dead reliable, and being that I drive all over the country for work, I've bought many, usually with around 100K miles, and usually sell them when they get over 300K. Never had a bad engine, did replace a couple transmissions on the half ton trucks, my 2500HD I just sold for 2K more than I bought it for, has 275K miles on it, and you cant even tell its running. GM is where its at in my opinion. But back to where I started, I've had my 03 H2 for years, its my driver when Im home, it has 185k miles on it, its never had a single issue, not one, and it doesnt matter what you do it doesnt get more than 12-13 mpg on the highway, and that's only if you don't exceed 65mph. it will creep up around 14 to 15 if you take long country back roads and keep it around 50-55. 80 mph is usually single digit gas mileage. Not on the hummer, which is bone stock down to the factory style BFG ATKO tires, but on my other GM trucks, I've had cat back exhaust's, and K&N full cold air intake systems, and the gas mileage is barely noticeable. It is what it is guys, its a 6500lb brick your pushing with a 320ish hp 6 liter V8. Really its under powered unless you get an 08 or 09. You can buy a programmer, or have it tuned for a bump in HP and better gas mileage, but you have to run premium fuel, and the cost difference in fuel way outweighs the extra couple mpg. I love the H2, it is extremely comfortable to ride in and drive. Its big and you can see everything around you, it has alot of luxury features for a ginormous SUV, and theirs nothing out there stock that will creep through the sugar sand at the beach like these things will. If you want one, buy one! You will love it, but don't be delusional about gas mileage, they don't pass up too many gas stations.
I traded in my jeep for a h2...and i love it!!!!
I own an H2 Hummer and get 13 mpg in city and 15 mpg in the highway. I haven't added any special air filter. I will do as you commented. I love my H2.
I drive my Hummer on the weekends. I don't worry about gas. Which is why I argued and finally negotiated with my wife. Now she complains about my gas usage. I compromised by using it on the weekends.
Let her drive it occasionally….Then she’ll want her own and leave you alone!!!! L O L!
Am I'm the only girl who likes hummer 😛😜
No you are not. I bought a 2003 H2 this week and I love it.
makeup with nae nop...my sister has one!!!
No one of the few maybe but my wife love ours and drives it daily like she stole it.
Girl I luv luv luv my hummer and I'm 68.
I am Transgender and I bought a Hummer H2... Love it!!!!! I am the only Trans girl to own a Hummer... In Your Face Haters!!!!!!
I got H2 and a Discovery 2 they almost the same on gas , I love both of my Dreams trucks
I LOVE MINE !!!
FIT FOR A KING!
I love my H2!!
You're absolutely right I drive my hummer because I like them I've had been a long long time it's been a real good Is truck But I've been thinking about putting a cat back on it.... I put one on my CTS Cadillac And a Turner .. And a k&n air filter.. Thank you I'm doing a hummer this same way ... Or even if it's worth the expense The Cadillac turned out . Is great.... But if anybody knows if it would make a big difference in my hummer let me know please
I get 13 mpg with a rear tire attached. use synthetic oil and keep your tires inflated
I look forward to what Vehicle Modders of the Future can do to this G.P. Giant the same way the VW community has done to their Classics. Maybe one day we could have a 25mpg Highway Hummer with little to no Visual Changes at all!
Cold air intakes,headers, torque cam, exhaust system, and e-fan maybe?
whats the name of that intake ? couldn't understand what your saying ?
I have 2003 H2 converted to run on CNG. I get the same milage but I fill at home and pay about 50 cents per gallon equivalent and i pay $1.72 at the local CNG filling station.. More power, motor lasts forever and runs great.
What is cng?
@@jdmfamily7182
Compressed natural gas. Like whats in your stove or clothes dryer.
@@jdmfamily7182 Compressed Natural Gas. The same as what's in your stove.
I completely forgot about CNG conversions!!
How'd you do the conversion??
Bought mine brand new back in 03 haven’t regretted it one bit
Did you have many things go wrong, that were covered under warranty? I’m only asking because…..I had many things fail… from Stereo System, Radiator, After Market Mirrors, water leaks from improperly installed steps (cut boot in door to thread wires through) and many other things which I can’t remember at moment…. Luckily because I drove over 70K miles before Manf Warranty was up and had also purchased Extended Warranty for after Manf Warr. If I hadn’t driven so many miles in first 3 yrs, The Issues I encountered might not have gotten covered.
My Concern is that those people who “Don’t Drive That Much” to get the kinks worked out…..then sell H2 with Low Miles…… Could be an Issue for someone who thinks their getting great deal….only to have expensive things go wrong and no longer have a Factory Warranty or just have short Warranty from Dealership.
Just Curious! I don’t meet too many people who’ve bought their H2s Brand New and have Broken them in by actually driving them…..not just on the weekends.
@@Leoness90210 I haven’t had anything go wrong surprisingly I’ve only replaced things like the starter water pump and stuff like that not because they failed but because they were getting old I ordered mine in 2002 and had it delivered in 2003 I specked it out just like I wanted and since then I’ve put 120,000 miles on it and I’ve enjoyed every bit of it I just had the underbody redone and it’s brand new now I also had it paint corrected and had an off wheels detail done to it so now it’s showroom condition I’ve also had the seats refurbished in perforated leather I had a 360 camera installed and a digital gauge and climate controls so everything is a screen now so yeah I think you can tell I won’t be selling it anytime soon😂 I bought it for 90k and they’re only offering me 30k for it
@@mateolopez3454 What did entail having underbody redone? Is that to keep it from rusting out! I've spent a lot of time by different beaches and have some rust due to that. Id be interested what/how they did it. I had aftermarket wheels and need to get them re-chromed or get new. I've had radiator and water pump both replaced. Mine was loaded, because it was specked out for a Pro Athlete in Scottsdale Az and then decided not to. Luckily, I had Partner Program through work and was able to get them down to cost on after market things and had a few things removed. I have Electric Steps which I've had to replace the motors, hard cover on spare tire etc. I don't ever plan on getting rid of mine either. Mine listed around 90K with all the extras, but that's not what i paid. TY for your info. I'm having issues with my sunroof and after market backup camera. Its all good though!
@@Leoness90210 so basically what they do is remove all the rust and apply a coating to prevent any new rust from forming and then they repaint the whole underbody
I love my Hummer H2 and I'm getting ready to get a Hummer h1 next to go with my Hummer H2
I have an 07 H2 i love my truck. Have had escalade and navigator and an expedition. There is no comparison
Choose between a Hummer , pickup truck , Semi , custom made Crawler and Monster truck ....
Monster truck .... You only live once ... Might as well just make the best of it and not give a shit what people say or think .
Interestingly the hummer was rated at over 12mpg city for UK imports. For comparison the Bentley Flying Spur of the same year was rated at less than 10.
defenitly getting one here soon...
When I get knuckleheads, who ask me about gas mileage, I always tell them, that I drive it, cause I will walk away from an accident, cause of it's size, and gas is worth that..
But comrade. Do we really this gas burning beast on our American roads
I would tell people when I was on a long Journey when they asked about gas mpg!!! I don’t eat at 5 Star Restaurants or stay at 5 Star Resorts! 165K later, I’ll continue to enjoy my H2 and all the places it’s taken me!!!!
I get 12 mpg all stock 04 with kumho mud tires
I have a 2005 hummer h2 on 24s, I love this damn thing!
Cesar Vega 35 inch tires?
I don't just drive around town in my Hummer H2... It takes me places many never get to see or experience and does so in a manner that makes fuel economy the least of my considerations. I have other cars, I've owned 56 vehicles since I was 15 years-old, but thinking back, I have never enjoyed any of them as much as I have my Hummer H2. Having owned the Hummer H2 13 years, I have owned it longer than any other vehicle.
I am 67, my wife 64, we recently took a 2 month, 22 state, 8400 mile road trip around all of the National Parks, Smokey Mountains, Atlantic Ocean, Chesapeake Bay, three days on Cape Hatteras Island between Sept. and November 2020 with my Hummer H2.
Prior to that we spent a week exploring New Orleans, Honey Island Swamp searching for and photographing Gators and Boars and a week on Amelia Island, Florida Air Boating where my wife dragged me down a long, dark path at night, water on both sides and signs everywhere, Danger! Alligators! Not a weapon, not a flashlight while wild rabid Monkeys threw branches at us from the canopy above.
The Hummer H2 took us everywhere we wanted to go, did so in style and never, NEVER LET US DOWN!
Some of the places we go, if the Hummer were to stop working... somebody would die. No cell service, very little resources at all and at times 120 to 125 degree temperatures... in 13 years of owning my Hummer, I have NEVER seen transmission temps above 150 degrees and radiator temps above 200 degrees, virtually always runs at 198 degrees on the coolant, rarely deviates at all.
Some of those photos are included in my gallery at dizeman.com
Prior to that we spent a week at Star Wars Canyon attempting to watch and photograph military jets flying low-level maneuvers through the canyon, unfortunately, one of them flew nose-first into the canyon wall killing two pilots and injuring seven sight-seers, so that was the end of that.
Prior to that, we spent a week exploring Lake Tahoe and Northern Nevada... in fact, we have spent most of our lives exploring dozens of thousands of small towns, hamlets and cities in 47 states in the United States and four foreign nations.
WE HAVE DRIVEN OUR 2007 HUMMER H2 to literally thousands of towns, hamlets, cities exploring 47 states in the United States. Every nook and cranny we can find, we explore, more often than not it is the Hummer that makes it possible and provides SHELTER for us when times get tough, there are no camping spots, hotels, motels or lodges to be found. We know we can rely on the Hummer to keep us safe from predators of all species.... well, the Hummer and (3) CCW Permits that allow me to carry concealed legally in 39 states. Security is my first priority!

PS. What is the Zombie stuff all about? I am a professional photographer, have been for 46 years and way back in April of 2020 I was hoping to mount a machine gun turret to the roof of my Hummer H2 for a SELENE/UNDERWORLD or Lara Croft/TOMB RAIDER themed photo shoot, but Covid shut things down before I could finish the themed photo shoot.
Ironically, 8400 miles through 22 states... though dozens of dozens of people had good things to say about the Hummer, a few questions, lots of smiles and thumbs up... not one person asked, "What's in the Body Bag?" (Lounge Chairs!)

Ok…I posted on another of your comments here w/?s about better gas mileage.
Now I’m curious about your 3 CCW Permits that allows you to carry in 39 States legally. Crossing State Lines and knowing if they offer reciprocity from your original State, has kept me from carrying. With today’s craziness I don’t feel as safe traveling alone as Ive done previously. What does your wife carry if/when you’re not around? Thank you for any advice.
@@Leoness90210 Sorry for a late response, I missed the notice that you commented.
I am a Nevada resident, so I have had a Nevada CCW for six years and when I took my CCW course in Las Vegas, my home for 45 years, the instructor gave me the tests and filled out the applications for additional CCW permits in Utah and Florida.
Via reciprocity, the three states combined at the time of my certifications covered 39 states.
That number can vary from time to time, because over time some states opt out of allowing other states' permits to be used in their state.
Having watched how it works over the years, I noticed states sometimes act like Elementary School Children, if a state drops them for any reason, the state seems to react like... "Well, if we can't carry in your state, then you can't carry in ours. NYA! NYA!, NYA!" so, you have to be vigilant and keep an eye on each state regulation pretty much every year to keep from getting into trouble.
When traveling on our 8400 mile, 2 month, 22 state Road Trip in 2020, we planned ahead as to which states we could enter with my Springfield Armory XDs 9mm 4 inch concealed on my person and which states I had to store the weapon, unloaded and in a locked container in the back of the Hummer.
Originally, I had planned to take my AR-15 to Maryland, so my son and I could do some shooting, but Maryland won't even allow me to enter with the AR-15.
Other states would allow the AR-15, but only allowed a 10 round magazine.
I bought several 10 round magazines just for the trip, but... after realizing how many states would be a hassle and risky if I got stopped... I decided to leave the AR at home.
My wife does not carry at the moment, but she is getting her Nevada, Utah and Florida CCW permits very soon so she will be ready for our 2022 travel season.
She is very proficient with weapons, it seems to come naturally for her. Prior to traveling,
I used the CCW Reciprocity MAP and State Gun Laws info provided here...
www.usconcealedcarry.com/resources/ccw_reciprocity_map/
and here...
handgunlaw.us/
to plot my course as to where I would go and what I needed to do with my gun when traveling in specific states.
I printed out pages of each state I was traveling through and used HIGHLITERS to mark hey details and laws I needed to pay attention to.
Yes! All of it was available on my IPhone 12 Pro Max and my IPad, but being an old fart, I still like the extra security of having HARD COPIES of ROAD ATLASES and CCW STATE LAWS with me in case the DIGITAL WORLD shuts down and all I have are paper copies of the info to guide me.
I have owned many guns all of my life, since my first .410 shotgun at age 12, but guns do not make my nipples hard and I don't play war games on weekends... I have guns for 2 reasons. Those required to protect me from others who would harm myself, my family or others in my immediate proximity and one or two for the bad guy, just in case he forgets to bring one when he enters my home. I am, after all... a generous man.
I don't display weapons. I virtually never care OPEN, unless I am out in the wild and the holster is on my Tactical Pack where I can get to it should a Bear drop in to say Hello! Two cannisters of Bear Spray are always accessible as well.
I want to be the last guy a bad guy would suspect of being his tour guide of Hell... Surprise is a good thing when weighing options of how to deal with a bad guy. I am a pragmatic and logically, if a bad guy walks into a store and see's me wearing OPEN CARRY, I instantly become his greatest immediate obstacle which he may or may not be mentally and emotionally capable of processing under stress, so I want to be the last person he could imagine might hand him an E-Ticket to Hell.
Hope that I answered your question, I don't have racks full of firearms, but I do have several within reach in special places around my home just in case I get surprised by an uninvited guest.
Unless there is some strange instance beyond my control, I am always carrying concealed, not only for my protection, but for the protection of those who don't like turning their life over to a bad guy with a gun. The crazies used to hide under rocks, but in 2022 they sit on top of the rock spitting on all that is good openly and freely without reservation or hesitation.
Be safe!

With stock, can you use 89 octane fuel?
I love my hummer H2 love this car.. I’m getting 17 miles
How
I have an h2 I had it for 13 years I still have it and I don't plan in sale it i dont worry about the gas I just filled it up and enjoy it i travel go to the beach all the time to the lakes and it's a head turner ,so if u going to worry about gas get a 4 cilinder car .by the way there's 3 hummers h1 h2 h3
Im gonna try this trick on Mine
Did it work?
what if you chip it or
smaller tires
I get 14 City 18 HWY with large 20" rims never heard of anyone getting that low my friends also are getting what i get. all we have done is new cold air intake with K&N filter.
What year is your H2?
2003
i just bought mine and im getting 10 im thinking of upgrading my air filter as well
,this guy needs a tuner that hooks to a pc timing shift points etc,,buy a tuner i am very soon hypertec look at your air fuel sensor n if you got over 90k miles they get wore n ignored they ones closest to engine are the ones that trim fuel the ones on cars past the cat just read smog fumes n do not trim fuel on most
this guy needs a tuner that hooks to a pc
I was getting 8.6 mpg then got a tune up and changed all my filters etc and now get 9.1 I have an H2 SUV pick-up 2005. I have a lift kit on it huge tires.
It's the dumb huge tires that are costing you 5 to 6 mpg!!
Hummers really aren’t that bad on fuel!!! I always get around 16.5mpg on Highway and 13-14 mpg per tank of fuel. Any V-8 4x4 full-size truck, is in that same ballpark!! I sold a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 with 33” tires and a 360 V-8 that only averaged 11mpg. And never got above 13mpg on a highway trip. So my H2 SUT is more fuel efficient that most V-8 trucks that were produce all the way through the last decade. So they really only considered bad on fuel if your used to driving a Prius!! For the rest of us MEN who grew up owning Trucks, there’s really no difference.
I also find that the radiator fails after a couple years , I read that one guy said he changed his fans to a larger size so now it hv me thinking
Our 05 hummer suv gets somewhere between 14.5 to 15 mpg. My friends supercharged 06 SUT get 6 maybe 9 mpg.
I thought you would improve gas mileage by putting a supercharger in it?
did you get it?
did you ever got one
I get 10.2mpg mostly 50/50 city highway
I'm getting 15 mpg average. K and N air uses oil that will mess with your Mass Air Flow sensor. Exhaust is a must. Keep tires inflated. You can remove the rear tire and carrier which weighs alot.
That "oil" K&N uses on their elements WILL NOT effect your MAS. Stop spreading B.S.
For the black hummer I would pay for the gas dammm hummers are so good!. hey you are acting like we are ending the world by driving hummers, people are destroying each other no need for environment . Mother nature will do what she wants if it came out of the Earth Mother nature is giving it to us!
HUMMER H2: Curb weight: 6,614 lbs
Yeah, I get a little rub as well.
Have it professionally tuned.
h2 hummer looks different from anything on the road. most luxury sports cars have worse mpg,s than h2 hummers. I have mind now for over 6years, and is going no where soon.
also I don't keep my foot in it maybe I would get less if I drove it like a child but I dont :)
I hv a 07 h2 in Trinidad, i I love my hummer , I am just sorry I hv to keep importing my part and hv to wait weeks
130,000 on 05 35 in nitto mud grapplers 20 xd wheels im getting 10.5 city 12 highway
The h2 was built by am general not General Motors. The newer h1s and the h2 did use a lot of gm parts though.
How far is that smart car going to get you during a zombie apocalypse? Lol
It's a hummer who cares that's right I pass everything except a gas station. I installed a cold air intake, I also installed true duals with flow Masters sounds great.
I have chipped, cold air intake and put exhaust on H2's - doesn't really matter - I also have lifted them all so if I can pull 12mpg that's good......don't buy an H2 if you worry about $$$$ - the one I have now is just a weekend, extra vehicle
06 with 170K miles and stil get 13.9HW and 10City. Tires are 325/60R/20
I just bought a 2004 with that size tires, (325/60R/20). Looks like I'm getting some rub on the sway bar. My first one and loving it. No Idea what MPGs are.
there should be a option on your dash to see your MPG and i just bought a 03 driving these things are the best feeling in the world llol
Actually in theory the intake and exhaust is supposed to improve MPG.... but in real life you’ll get worse.
Plus most people with hummers are gonna add bigger wheels and tires/lift which kills the mpg more.
Thus, ultimately 10mpg like everyone else in the end. Haha.
Try removing spare tire,third row ,roof rails,and maybe a lowering kit or Removing the running boards. Don't know if it will help though.🤷🏾♂️?
I just bought one 2003 6500pounds I love my but it my 3rd car 11.2 miles gallon drive it 3 times a week
How do they make 60 motor what do they do to to it is it a 350 motor or 400 to make the 60 motor how do they build the motor to make it a 60 motor
Jamie Turner it’s a 366 I think
My H2 has 25,000 miles on it and I'm lucky to get 10 mpg period. also with a 4/10 gear ratio the H2 struggles to run 80 on the hwy. Also it is one of the slowest vehicles I've ever had lol
Then you have the wrong truck. I did a 2 month, 22 state, 8400 mile Road Trip to virtually every National Park and Monument East of Las Vegas to the Atlantic Ocean Sept. 9th thru November 4th. 2020 and if I had done 80 mph on the freeways, somebody would have run over me. I often did close to 90 mph, because trucks and cars pushed me to do so. I don't know fast my 2007 WELL MAINTAINED Hummer h2 will go, I know I have had it 90 and it had more to go, but... why on earth would anyone want to drive a SHOEBOX SHAPED SUV that weighs in my case 7200 pounds faster than 80 or 90 mph is the first place. Your argument is ridiculous at face value... how friggin fast did you want to drive a vehicle designed to be an OFFROAD/HIGHWAY HYBRID? You don't need a Hummer Dude, you need a Pilot's License. Hell, I have a Pilot's License and I land planes on roads slower than I drive my Hummer.
@@DIZEMANPHOTO I really like your Posts and Knowledge on the H2. I have an 05 since it was new. I need some advice to up my gas mileage. I have 165K which are mostly hwy miles. I took a East Coast/West Coast Journey and to Key West to regain my life after a horrific accident in a Regular SUV.
So, could you give me a few tips beyond what you’ve posted here…..as I don’t trust most mechanics, because they see a woman coming and think they can get over on them.
My dad taught me a lot about vehicles and made me get on creeper under the car with him. I do my research and can usually figure things out….but would appreciate any other thoughts for better gas mileage than what you’ve listed here.
I’ve also been stuck in San Antonio since Covid and not on any long trips. My mpg has fallen to 9.6 and I’m driving to MI soon and hate to pay these higher prices! I was in AZ for 5 yrs, if that could make a difference.
Thanks so much!
Hi you all ready buy your Hummer?
GM could have saved the Hummer brand by going with a different drivetrain. A vehicle this heavy with such a large engine with only a 4-speed transmission is a formula for gas guzzler anyway. Improved fuel systems and 6-8 speed transmissions is what's saving today's newer pickup trucks. Does a transmission upgrade exist for an H2, such as a 5-speed or 6-speed?
2008 is a 6 speed tranny with quite a few upgrades.
My 2007 came with a 4L65E, earlier years came with a 4L60E which is a really crappy tranny. I think there is a 4L70E that will drop in, but some put in a 4L80E which requires a frame brace modification and a rear differential yoke modification from what I am told. The 70 and 80 are 6 speeds.
.
Like my truck 10 to 14
Change to a good synthetic oil.
Bro the gas in Californian is $5
I love my sut! Who cares about the cost of gas!
HUMMER AASIF LIKED THIS VIDEO💪💪💪❤❤❤
Lol I have direct fit jb a stainless headers no cats 37 inch tires tuner for 91 octane I’m getting 9.0 mpg🤣🤣🤣
Hummers are not for everybody. Neither are 45 foot motorhomes or water skis. This entire thread reminds me of the guy who chains a 36 foot cabin cruiser on the back of his Datsun B80 pickup truck and wonders why people are staring at him. Pick the RIGHT VEHICLE FOR YOUR NEEDS or DESIRES. Don't try to make a Fiat perform like a Hummer, nor a Hummer perform like a Fiat. I like the idea of getting better gas mileage in my Hummer H2, but honestly, to be blunt... I just could not care less! I did not buy the Hummer, because I expected to get 30 miles per gallon, nor 20, even though I have come damn close on several trips on I-10. Understand the rules of inertia, keep your engine working in good order, toss some CHEVRON TECHRON in your tank every 2000 miles and when you can, get the Hummer up to 70 mph... the inertial sweet spot, put the cruise control on and sit back and enjoy the best mileage a 6500 to 7200 pound TRUCK is going to get. If doing so gives you a headache or breaks your bank... GET A FRIGGIN SUBARU! I have one of those too for when I want 30 mpg. But I like the Hummer best of all.
I guess I'm different I never care how much mpg I got TMobile Tuesday 10 cent off per gallon at shell station plus additional $0.05 off from shell
My hummer gets almost 15 mpg .
Wanna save gas on a hummer h2? Get a 2008 and newer.
Hummer h2 is not 8000 lbs, it's 6400lbs. lol
Actually it's 8600 pounds sir.
No, it's not 8600, just google 2007 hummer h2 curb weight. It's 6400 - 6600 depending on options. Most of them are 6400, I own one. It's total gross weight (max cargo total vehicle weight, that's when it's fully loaded is 8600 (vehicle plus cargo)) Gross weight is NOT what the vehicle weights, that's what it weights fully loaded with cargo. Curb weight is what a vehicle weights without any cargo and is what we anyone refers to when talking about a vehicle's weight.
GodFear17, thanks for the info. I guess that's what I was referring to. I too own one since 2011 and because it weighs so much, in GA. they don't require a emissions test for anything listed at 8600 and above.
yea they go by the gross for emissions, rather cool not having to deal with emissions lol
GodFear17 most of his info is wrong. Like GM built the H2 lol.. so wrong
Not 8000 pounds. 6400 pounds
My 05 gets 12.5 mpg stock. This video didn't give me any information on how to get better mileage. Dude, you don't even own one yet and an H2 weighs 2k less than what you said. That there, discredits anything you said.
By him posting this Video, has brought several H2 Owners into this Conversation….where I’ve found a lot of great info.
This is a real truck.not some low to the ground want to be truck.if you got to ask or got to worry.you can't afford it.dont buy one.you ain't man enough or woman enough.to run and own this truck/ monster.bye bye
I counted over 201 ummms, I guess that's why you drive a Huuuuummer
It's not 8000 pounds it's 6400
Depends on the Year.
This video shows no proof of any claims made. How about showing before and after vidoes of the modifications?
You don't drive it 24/7 you cruise now and then so what gas cost.does not matter.
Bla.. bla.. MPG
I have the 100% answer to "Save Gas With A Hummer H2. DON'T DRIVE IT.
Not factual info
Okay stop bitching about Hummer gasoline stop saying Hummers using lots of gas that's wrong let me tell you this on the company where I working I drive 2015 2500 Express van with 5.3 motor on it that van using more gas than my Hummer I got 2007 Ford f250 Super Duty is gasoline engine it's the 5.4 that truck use more gas than my Hummer I told you because I'm driving it those three vehicles
GM did not make the Hummer H2. God damn dude, you own a Hummer H2 and don't know this? AM General built the Humvee, H1, and H2. The H3 was built by GM. GM does not own the Hummer brand. Hummer is owned by AM General. AM General worked with GM to be able to mass produce the H2 and H3. Hints why there is cheap GM plastic in the H2. The H1 was built for the rich and they (AM General) didn't build much of those.
Why Don;'t you have links to Upgrades???
I don't see a Colder or Coler??? Show Me!!!
Duh, Which Programer??? What the funk are You taking about???
