Hi Pravus Prime:

___I cannot say I have an exactly similar outlook but I don’t mind the H2’s, Suburban’s, and Excursions running around as long as they are not doing so at ungodly speeds that kill. There are 2 H2 owners, 1, 2 doors to the south and the neighbor to the North. Our MDX is a very nice ULEV-II rated 4WD SUV and I actually love driving it. I do not like filling it up however so the wife has taken over that responsibility given it is her daily driver … In regards to the H2, I wouldn’t doubt it is worth 18 - 20 + mpg out on the highway with the right pilot after setup. That may not be great FE compared to what we discuss here but it sure beats what many may have received in their previous ride depending on what it was and the habits learned while driving it. Does anyone want to loan me their H2 for a few days of real world testing

___That being said, if there is a technology that is cleaner, more efficient, and cost effective in the same automobile, I do not see a reason to not own it myself. Thus the PZEV Accord vs. a LEV-II based one. The $135.00 up charge is a pittance for the huge drop in emissions imho.

___Good Luck
