HUMMERS

Personally I think they drive hummers hoping to get one...
you know..... a hummer...?

Hummer Gas Mileage Not FoundThe mileage data you are looking for never existed, because Hummers essentially get no gas mileage. 10 MPG means that the typical Hummer burns petroleum faster than Saddam Hussein in Kuwait.
Please try the following:
If you drive a Hummer, sell it. Your penis will remain small whether or not you drive a half-baked knockoff of a military vehicle. Drive something that gets better gas mileage, like, say, a Kenworth.
If you reached this page because you're considering buying a Hummer, see the previous item.
If you're here just to see what mileage a Hummer really gets, it averages about 10-14 MPG. No, we're not kidding. You could take a Chevy Suburban and tow another car behind it and you'd STILL get better gas mileage.
It's quite possible that the Hummer was originally marketed as a joke. Then the designers realized folks were actually stupid enough to buy a vehicle that's too large for 99% of parking spots, rides like a pissed-off camel in an earthquake and has great features like a leaky sunroof, an air conditioner that doesn't work and other fun stuff.
If you actually drive off-road, we'll cut you some slack. Just remember that 10-14 MPG figure is for street driving, not off-road. So you'd better bring another car to carry spare gas.
Forget About The Hummer
May we recommend a
Toyota Prius, instead?

They probably think your flip off is an invitation for sexual favors.

In my neck of the woods, it's the women who drive them. Midwest blonds!!!

Here there are a large number of hummers and most of them are driven by women. There is a guy who works the eastern part of Ohio called Cowboy Dan who runs a giant drawings.
You buy the tickets online that let you into a giant BBQ where at least one Hummer and a lot of other giant gas hogs are given away.
I left Bingo the other night to see a brand new silver one with a giant Hummer decal across the back window
Sure enough here comes a 300+ pound Bingo Biddie. When she got behind the wheel the left side sagged a goo 6 inches and I swear I heard the Hummer groan.

Saw a Hummer drive by the other day with big letters written across the windshield: HUMMER, said "why don't they just write ASSHOLE there instead?"

People who drive hummers also have no idea how to park..

I'm just glad they've stopped making the damn things... at least for now. GM's still looking for a buyer, though every other potential buyer has balked thus far.
