Hummer H1s and the military spec Humvees are very useful vehicles. H2's on the other hand aren't very useful for anything other than moving around lots of people on paved roads. They arent any worse than Escalades, Suburbans, Tahoes, Expeditions, or any other large SUV. So unless you haul your kids around in a minivan or station wagon, you dont have much room to talk about the H2, and the H3 will be even smaller and more practical.
As far as making a MPG requirement, etc. It should be left to me to decide how much money Im willing to spend on gasoline for my car. Thats the point behind a free market. Its my hard earned money, and I should be able to use it to fuel a V-8 powered muscle car if I freaking want to. If we manage to run out of gasoline, or if gas prices rise too high, then I'll be willing to spend my money on something that doesnt run off gas. Its not like the earth will implode if we use all of the gas, we'll just have to switch to something different. I've never quite understood all of the panic and silliness.
