Florida Congressman Allen West Blames Obama For $70 Hummer H3 Fill-Up

Florida Congressman Allen West is blaming President Barack Obama for paying $70 every time he wants to fill up his Hummer H3. Not surprisingly, media outlets, as well as commenters on West's Facebook page, are up in arms. The Hummer name undoubtedly carries negative connotations when it comes to fuel economy, but in the grand scheme of things, the H3 is quite mild, with its roots in the fairly light-duty Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon twins. The DOE's own fuel economy site lists West's 2008 H3 as getting between 14 and 15 mpg combined – hardly impressive for a small SUV. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
