looking for first hummer h2

The difference between the 08, 09 is the 09 can use the E85. Not that it is popular anymore, but its an extra feature. Both years also use premium octane. Also the Alison transmission is a big difference from the earlier years.
I was running 87 for a while in my 08 SUT and my mechanic said I had a lot of carbon build up in my injectors and throttle body from lower octane gas.
I also am getting 13mpg city wise. I drove 210 miles to upper MI and I was getting 17.6mpg the whole way. Until I became lead foot when I was off roading.

Thanks for the correction, I thought the 6 speed was an Allison. Still I think the H2's with the 6L80E need more HP as I notice that running cruse control at 70 mph jumps off when going uphill. Mine is stock and would like to get a K&N and chip/programmer. After the new shocks and tires.

My '08 is stock as well except for the 325's. I have been very impressed with the power out of the 6.2 / 6-speed coming from a 6.0 / 4-speed '05. Like every vehicle I own, it could always use more power!
Does your cruise control actually turn-off when going up hill? That is not an issue I have had with mine. My cruise control works fine, although, it does downshift often on mountainous interstates.
I would be surprised if you feel any "seat of the pants" power increase with a K&N and chip ... let us know what you find if you add these mods. I will say that my 6.2 does like 93 octane much more than 87 or 89 ... I only run 93 octane in mine.
