As gas-prices keep increasing and consumers shift to more fuel-efficient vehicles, the future of HUMMER is a bit unclear. GM has put the brand under ‘strategic review’ and is considering selling it off. This just makes one wonder - how big and brutal is the HUMMER lineup?

Stating some very interesting facts, Portfolio.com put together a little comical interactive feature showing us just how monstrous HUMMER really is.

According to Portfolio.com’s findings, a HUMMER H2 weighs the same as one female Asian elephant or 28 Arnold Schwarzeneggers. It is as big as 3 1/2 Smart cars or 13 1/2 subzero refrigerators. Driving a HUMMER H2 from New York City to Southampton, New York requires the same energy as leaving a 100-watt bulb on for 3,294 hours or the same as driving a Prius to the Canadian border.

    I bet the elephant gets better mileage.

    GM has done a wonderful job making the Hummer a Bullseye for any ecological statement. As I have said before, too bad they did not try and make the brand stand for off road prowess the way Jeep has.
