Giving up the H2 was harder than I thought it would be, but the first time I put gas in the Pathfinder I forgot all about the H2. I (like you) was paying over $4 a gallon for a time there and it was costing $100 to go about 300 miles. We are averaging 18.4 MPG with the Pathfinder. Plus the Pathfinder drives great (so did the H2), has rear air controls (H2 did not) and is very quet.

I also drove the Armada and the Xterra before deciding on the Pathfinder. Armada gets the same gas mileage (if not worse depending on what you read online) as the H2 and is actually a hair bigger. I felt like if I bought the Armada, I might as well keep the H2 because of the size and mileage. The Xterra I did like, especially with 2 labs, but the armrest for the driver is out of position in my opinion and solely for that reason I did not buy it.

We loved our H2, but we are loving the Pathfinder also.

Good, I'm glad it's not just my towing capabilites (being a woman and all..pfft! ha!) I can pull my boat with a 40ft motorhome no problem...but behind the H2, it just plain sucks. Heck, it was easier (for me..lol) to back the boat down the boat ramp with the motorhome versus the H2..again, the short wheel base is to blame (I think?)

See..interesting about the Armada. One of the reasons I feel so guilty about the H2 is that everyone always talks about the horrible gas mileage, the environmental impact, etc. Yet you don't seem to hear them saying that about the Suburbans, Armada's, etc that cost the same (if not more) than H2's, get the same gas mileage, etc. Yet the Hummers are the scapegoat for all things environmentally unfriendly. Ugh..LOL (off soapbox now)

Thanks for your input--It's great to get it from another H2 owner, gives me more perspective.
