Pulled the trigger on an H3

Ya and the Gen III V8's actually get decent mileage anyways. Probably get as good or better lol

EPA H3 est mpg: I5 = 14/18; V8 = 13/16

I wanted the Alpha, but settle for the H2. Here's a couple of examples of what you can do with the H3...

From an H3 Alpha review:

Curiously, owners will pay no great penalty in fuel economy for choosing the V8 — at least not compared to the poor economy of the inline-5 version. In mixed driving, we averaged 13.4 mpg in the Alpha. And the observed economy of the original Hummer H3 we tested in 2006? 13.3 mpg.

They also mentioned the FJ is a second quicker 0-60 than the Alpha...that surprised me.
