My GSL-SE.....

.....gets 2x the fuel economy of an H2 Hummer, but it only weighs 1/2 as much.

It's a joke.. not to be taken literally. I'm tracking my SE on fueleconomy.gov. It's doing OK. I know refueling a 15 gallon tank at 223 miles isn't stellar, that's what my 4Runner does and it averages 15-17 MPG. More to come....
