The diesel ones get better mileage.  Not great, though, by anyone's
standards.

According to the military, the Hummer is listed as a "1 1/4 ton truck".

Indeed, but there are better vehicles for going anywhere.  Not many,
certainly, but there are some.  

One thing about Hummers, certainly:  They're best off road.  I had the
displeasure of driving one across Germany on the autobahn.  

Hummers on the highway -=*SUCK*=-.  There are few vehicles better for
going cross country, but on the road they're slow, rough, and very
noisy.  Those people with more money than brains who spend $40,000 a
copy to buy them to look cool can have them.
