"Over 8600-lb gross vehicle weight exempts H2 from EPA mileage-reporting program, but our test H2 averaged just 10.7 mpg, even with mostly highway driving. Uses regular-grade fuel."

10.7 mpg is what I believe to be disgusting IMHO for transporting children and looking cool. I do own one econobox and a wrx. 24mpg on the wrx. not great, but still a fun car. Wife drives the cavalier (which is older) I don't track the mileage, but she grandma drives alot of the time...has to be at least 27-30 mpg. We recycle everything in our house. I have a kid who will be inheriting our place in the world someday. I do whatever I can to make it someplace worth inheriting.

As I've stated in previous threads, there is a place for these vehicles, just not behind me on the way to work. Transporting kids to soccer (unless you have 10 kids) and looking cool in my opinion is just down right wasteful...again IMHO.
