Some false advertising here?

"With inventories of the Hummer H2 and H3 piling up amid high gas prices, two Detroit area Hummer dealerships are getting creative about boosting fuel efficiency. But the move has raised the eyebrows of General Motors Corp. and Hummer brand brass.

Detroit Hummer and Hummer of Novi are trying to woo consumers with what they call the "Mileage Maximizer," a mechanical modification they claim helps the hulking vehicles get 25 miles per gallon in highway driving. By comparison, an unaltered H3 gets 19 to 20 miles per gallon on the highway, according to Hummer spokesman Nick Richards."

The improvements come at a price, though. GM and Hummer officials haven't endorsed the adjustments, and say they may not honor the warranties on the altered vehicles."

Most soccer moms already drive their SUVs like hey are Ferraris because they think since they are up high they arre safer. I think if you put them in smaller cars it would actually make them better drivers because it would remove their false sense of security.

Imagine if you combine this "Scientific break-through" super combustion valve (that makes your Hummer suck and blow better at the same time) with the other guys magic beans that you put in your gas tank, you could actually have a car that gets infinite miles to the gallon. Then you could get one of those elecric turbos off ebay, and put some Slick 50 in there and your hummer would actuaaly produce as instead of using it.
