For me, I haven't changed my habbits on the H2. I am driving my Z less but that's more because she was getting a lot of miles and after gas in the area creeped closer to 4 bucks a gallon I am now taking public transit (for those in the area BART) and saving the miles on my Z but still taking the H2 out for trips. Now I just have to wonder why I am keeping the Z around if I don't really need it for commuting any more...maybe convince the "boss" we need an H3 to drive to BART.

Nope, no change. Trading Exxon/Mobil stock is more than making up the difference.

I'm not changing my local habits at all, or my offroading habits, but longer road trips are definitely more carefully considered.

Nope, no changes here. I am a truck guy, so I would expect to pay alot for gas no matter what type of truck I drive. The only think I would consider would be adding another car to drive when I do not need the duece. Like an H4!!

I would estimate that on average gasis costing me like $600 a month. Even with a smaller truck that gets around 18 mpg's I would still be paying around $450 or sothats only $150 less a month. Not worth ditching the hummer. I will just suck it up, literally.

I fill up3+ times a week at about $90 a pop. Sure money can get tight. I have 2 boys that cost double that in food bills alone every week -AND I have a baby on the way.I may have togive up something eventually - anyone want some kids? HAHA

I am so sick of the government not doing anything about the rising gas prices. It is not so much the$$ i pay to fill up, but the effect it has on everything else we buy. As soon as I can afford it I am converting to Duramax/Allison combo and running Bio diesel even if I have to start making it my self. I will NEVER give up driving my H2.

flex..............
