Try not to take my opinions too personally, Firm. It's not all about you. There was no malice aimed at you in my original post, or any subsequent one, but if you choose to feel insulted because I make a general observation, that is up to you. Since you have chosen to make it an opportunity to personalise your attacks on me I can only try and exercise restraint in the face of provocation.

I won't bother trying to parse all the absurd presumptions you make about my associations and my motioves or extricating myself from the straw man arguments you offer on my behalf. That would be pointless as I know you are capable of generating two or more absurdities for every one I put to bed.

On rereading the thread, I believe that you have a point.

Please accept my apologies for "unnecessary roughness".

Oops! So much for restraint. Sorry.

Suffice to say my hate on for hummers predates this thread and low gas milage is least on my list of reasons. As a professional driver I am well acquainted with Hummers and other SUVs on the road. Along with muscle / performance cars, their drivers, on average, exhibit the FU attitude towards others with greater frequency and deeper conviction than others. This attitude, coupled with vehicles capable of delivering more destructive power than average, makes them things to be avoided and feared. That's my experience. It is not quantified in any online studies I can offer as proof of validity.


I do have comments that I'd like to address to the above.  However, I do not wish to sully an apology with critical remarks, making me to seem to be "giving with one hand, and taking back with the other", so I'll simply express my thoughts that your way of looking at it is certainly one way.

Firm

High Octane doesn NOT "burn more slowly"  or  "makes more power"

When you're right, you're right.

I'll "git ya" next time.
