What is the fuel consumption of a Hummer?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of a Hummer ranges from 25 to 30 liters. Taking the Hummer H2 2008 6.2AT as an example: The manufacturer of this vehicle is Hummer, classified as a full-size SUV, with a gasoline energy type, equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission, and designed as a 5-door, 5-seat SUV. The top speed is 180 km/h, and the intake form is naturally aspirated. The dimensions of the vehicle are 5170mm in length, 2063mm in width, and 2012mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3117mm. It features a front-engine, four-wheel-drive system with full-time four-wheel drive, mechanical hydraulic power steering, a body-on-frame structure, and a handbrake as the parking brake type.
As an ordinary user who has driven a Hummer for several years, I'd like to share my genuine experience. The fuel consumption of Hummers is indeed on the high side. Taking my H2 as an example, it averages around 18 liters per 100 kilometers in city driving, dropping to about 15 liters on smooth highways. However, in traffic jams or with frequent stops, it can easily soar above 22 liters. Multiple factors contribute to this: the large-displacement V8 engine, the heavy body, and the robust four-wheel-drive system all keep fuel consumption high. Add driving habits to the mix—like my tendency for rapid acceleration or running the air conditioning at full blast—and the fuel gauge drops even faster. Compared to modern economical SUVs, the Hummer is a real gas guzzler, with a full tank not taking you very far, hitting both your wallet and the environment. That said, its off-road performance is strong, offering stability and reliability during wilderness adventures. To save fuel, I recommend easing off the accelerator, maintaining proper tire pressure, or considering a hybrid version. Remember, fuel efficiency varies by model—the H3 is slightly better, averaging around 14 to 18 liters.
