Electric Hummer gets 100 mpg ? more or less

[TC]

A Hummer that gets the equivalent of 100 miles per gallon or more? That's something even President Barack Obama could live with ? not to mention California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the unquestioned celebrity champion for Hummers.

A company that says it's done just that ? running the full-size SUV on batteries ? is showing off its Electric Hummer H3 on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. But whether it really gets 100 mpg depends on just how far and hard it's driven.

The four-wheel drive vehicle with a top speed of 100 mph has been put together by Raser Technologies, a Utah company that until recently had focused on developing geothermal energy sources. It's timing is impeccable, just a day after Obama unveiled a program to raise vehicle fuel efficiency, and cut greenhouse gas emissions, by 30 percent.

Seems like the new mandates aren't a problem anymore. ;)

sure, 100mpg if you don't consider the juice it takes to charge the batteries. Tubbed Camaro, you should buy the London Bridge

wait until they put MSD LS1 coilpacks on it. And the K&N filter. It'll pick up 130hp and 25% improvement in mileage!!! I know it because I read it in a magazine

Some dumb ass millionaire, he thought he was buying the Tower Bridge.
Apparently he went ahead and set it up in the middle of a desert in Nevada or Utah or some such place ....
:P

The City of London sold the dilapidated ole bridge to him and used the money to build a new London Bridge.
;D
