Well, considering the ridiculously low gas price in the USA, I can understand you want one. Still, I hope the US government finally gets some sense and starts caring about the environment and raises the price for gas.
Here's an interesting figure (from http://www.trouw.nl/rubriek/1123070046158.html all the rest is in Dutch, but the figure is in English): Price in EUR per liter Country City aug-05 Turkey Istanbul € 1,598 Netherlands Amsterdam € 1,409 Norway Oslo € 1,350 United Kingdom London € 1,314 France Paris € 1,250 Belgium Brussels € 1,242 Germany Frankfurt € 1,189 Denmark Copenhagen € 1,186 Portugal Lisbon € 1,184 Lebanon Beirut € 1,177 Japan Tokyo € 1,108 Spain Madrid € 1,045 Finland Helsinki € 1,029 Ireland Dublin € 1,029 Czech Republic Prague € 1,001 Romania Bucharest € 1,001 Switzerland Geneva € 0,965 Bulgaria Sofia € 0,855 Greece Athens € 0,829 Serbia Belgrade € 0,793 Cuba Havana € 0,788 Brazil Brasilia € 0,772 Canada Toronto € 0,645 Taiwan Taipei € 0,644 United States Los Angeles, CA € 0,622 Nicaragua Managua € 0,589 South Africa Johannesburg € 0,522 Russia Moscow € 0,505 Panama Panama City € 0,493 Puerto Rico San Juan € 0,422 China Beijing € 0,401 Syria Damascus € 0,378 Nigeria Lagos € 0,297 Kuwait Kuwait City € 0,185 Egypt Cairo € 0,179 Venezuela Caracas € 0,037 Although a doubling of the price would be maybe too much, I think that a 50% increase in price might be reasonable. If they do it by raising the tax on gas, then Bush immediately has a source to pay off the huge deficit. And spend money on environmental protection. C ya! Marty P.S. I'm also looking at you, Canada. ![]() |

Actually - the reason I posted this in FYM is because I thought it would spark the whole "gas guzzling machine born from war" type of reaction.
I'm seriously thinking about it. I would not buy it as my everyday car - only drive it occassionally. More of a hobby. ![]() |

Are you looking to get the original Hummer or H2? I wouldn't drive an H2 because every rich snot nose soccer mom out there is driving one. Get the original that says "I'm a bad man and will run you off the road." Plus, you could get the optional gun turret at the top of it and shoot small animals.

Right - the original is about 100k, which is a little steep for me. But I hear ya!
I'm definitely thinking H2. I'm a big man and need a big machine. ![]() |

I see so many H2s, 4x4s and SUVs clogging up our roads here. Because, after all, you need 4 wheel drive and a Hemi to navigate our flat, straight city streets. ![]() |

I think they're a disgusting waste of resources and can't believe anyone besides military personnel would either want one or have a legit reason for buying one.

Hummers. A disgusting example of a culture which is hooked on status symbols and over-indulgence.

Those things are a fantastic symbol of the time honored American tradition of over-doing it.
Don't do it. |

I don't think those cars are necessary at all, either. They're not even pretty. They're like the Louis Vuitton's of cars: ugly as hell but everyone buys them for status.
