SALT LAKE CITY -- They're ... gas guzzlers, reputed to be an enemy of the environment, but ... A Utah company hopes to drive the Hummer into green territory.
Would you believe a gas guzzler like this could get 100 MPG or more? ...
In long-distance driving, the gas engine might kick in only 15 minutes every couple of hours. If you plug it in overnight and drive less than 40 miles a day, ... you'll never need gas.
100 MPG HUMMER
If only the thing was made for long distances. Not sure how that meshes with less than 40 miles in a day or a month.
And since the original Hummers are no longer available for civilian consumption that leaves the faux-hummer H-2s and -3s. Gassers. Far inferior vehicles to the original. Not sure the H3 even meets the weight requirements to escape or contribute to the new mileage standards for the class.
Gettin' 100mpg out of one, no matter the series or size ????? I think the Bonnevillle Salt Falts are in Utah. They might pull it off there. In the real world . . . fuhgeddaboudit.
If you plug it in it will never need gas?
Where are they going to get the electrons from? Are they going to set up windmills outside the legislative houses of government, maybe a biomass boiler outside the local court house, maybe harnest the flushes from the county jail house, hook up the Gold's Gym exercise machines to the local grid.
Are they going to put in a dam at Big A? Slap in some hydro power, new tech I hear, in the Bay of Fundy, goes both way they say, kinda like the new definition of marriage you know.
If you fund it , it will come, and it will bankrupt the taxpayer and make some in the know, rich, and us poorer.
There isn't anything that can replace eons of stored sun energy. Ohh carbon footprint

I have to say, I will believe when I see it. If we see it. Wasn't Hummer slated for dismantlement or did they sell it off.
