I just went to the website www.fueleconomy.gov and made a comparison of the popular SUVs in Doha -

Hummer H3
EPA Mileage 15
Annual Tonnes of CO2 emitted 12.2

Toyota Landcruiser
EPA Mileage 13
Annual Tonnes of CO2 emitted 14.1

Nissan Armarda
EPA Mileage 14
Annual Tonnes of CO2 emitted 13.1

So Hummer is more efficient than the other popular SUVs in Doha

What about the Gallardo ?

EPA Mileage 13
Annual Tonnes of CO2 enitted 14.1

And finally........

Toyota Prius
EPA mileage 46 !!!
Annual Tonnes of CO2 emitted 4 !!!!!

Seen many of these on the roads of Doha ?

Arguements are easy to make on judging a book by it's cover, but a little research and any arguement can be twisted with a few selective statistics.

And yes, I drive a Hummer H3. My wife chose it for it's looks and ruggedness, same reasons she chose me !!!!! :-)
