I think that's what I read about, that people bought them because they were 
exempt from some tax ... yeh I just looked on Wikipedia about the Hummer H2, 
and yes apparently it is exempt from the gas guzzler tax.  It's also exempt 
from fuel economy standards and emission testing because its gross weight is 
over 8500lbs!  Still, maybe with higher fuel prices the 10mpg performance 
will hit people more than what they save with the tax cuts.
