Reasons Not Own a Hummer

There are at least two reasons for not buying the huge, military-type vehicle called a Hammer. First of all, Hummers are big gas hogs. For example, the H2 model gets less than 10 miles gallon of gas. When gas costs $3 per gallon, it costs $100 to fill up a Hummer’s big gas tank. The second reason; Hummers are bad for the environment. In one year, a Hummer gives of 24,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, which is two to three times more than average cars give off. The U.S. government’s Environmental Protection Agency gives it a filing grade. Finally, to sum up, for the health of your bank balance as well as for the health of the environment, don’t buy a Hummer.
