According to Wikipedia GM produced 159519 H3s and 152,939 H2s. 312548 H2 and H3s. Add in 12,000 H1s and you have one half of an average year of F-150 production.

If it comes down to an enviromental thing, why not talk about how many resources are used to make the Prius; that it causes more damage to the world than driving your current vehicle till it dies, rather than scrapping it to buy a new "green" car.

Amen to that! People should only buy a prius for mpg not environmental improvements

I had a conversation with a lady at a gas station one time awhile back. I think I scored some points when I explained to her that a total of 12,000 H1s were built over a 15 year span for civilian consumption, maybe 100,000 H2s were built and about 270,000 H3s over the entire production run for Hummer. I told her Ford built that many F150s in a single year. Even if you added up the incremental use of fuel consumed by all Hummers ever made it is only a small fraction of the fuel consumed by US vehicles. The fuel used by H1s wouldn't even show up on the chart. Yet somehow the small minded and dimwitted think that we are the problem. Funny...sad but funny.

Its so hard to argue with real data isn't it :)

*sigh* All this talking about H1's make me want to go drive mine.... gotta invent an errand I have to run.....

I was also wondering about the number as they are close but a bit different from Lynch's. I thought the total civi truck count was just shy of 12,000 for the 14 years (with '96 and '97 being the biggest years at over 2500 civi trucks for those two years).

My source told me that those were Units sold , not manufactured......So there could be some discrepancies.

I had gotten those numbers to use in defense of the brand......

Being that the total number of HUMMERS on the road was numericaly insignificant compared to other so-called gass guzzlers.

When you trot out those numbers vs. a single years production of other "heavy duty" trucks....Folks tend to put up the pitchforks and scythes.

I can point Brian back to this thread and see if he can offer some insight regarding the numbers being off.

Well, considering Dave has owned most, if not all of those 12,000 H1's at one point or another.......he should know.


:wink:

check out the lynch site that was posted earlier for the amg production numbers -- they might have the gm models too?

Those numbers I posted came from someone on the GM side of the HUMMER equation...........

If I find out anything I will post it up.

Tell the folks in your class that the much smaller/lighter Toyota FJ at Max weight with just 33" tires got about 11-12@ 75mph the length of Nebraska. When we hit the 30-40mph headwinds we dropped to 8-9.mph. The gas stations could not come fast enough. Also FWIW, IL is the only state to subsidize 20% soybean biodiesel, yet the consumers are still paying over $4. The Toyota and "green" lobbyists make me sick. They will twist the numbers anyway fit for them. Ask that kid how the Prius will do in a head-on with an H1 sized vehicle.

I know this is a H1 mileage thread, but I'm avearging 15.8 mpg (city only - since I haven't yet driven it on the freeway) in the '09 H3 CE with the V8. Not too shabby at all!

Yes, a total production of approx 12000 h1s over the 15 year production run. All were sold though not necessarily in their production year.
