As per specs H1 is at least a 6.5L Detroit Diesel Engine (it is actually among the smallest diesel engines of detroit diesel kasi their engines ang nakasalpak sa most american trailer trucks)....as such 4-5km/L is very possible dahil maganda ang fuel injection systems na gamit ng Detroit Diesel Engines...pag nag dos lang yan merun ng problema ang makina and/or injectors nun....

Even some of my personal interview with military personnel driving military H1 in Clarck AC and the enthusiast in AC who owns refurbished H1 claims the same range (even with regular traffic) sa fuel consumption.

my 2 cents.

Guys,

Starting 2006 model, H1 Alpha is using the 6.6 L Duramax Diesel engine. Duramax is made by Isuzu for GMC.

Kim, yung lumang release ay standard sa HUMVEE ang MT/R ng wrangler tig 27" diameter.

So natuloy na pala ang Duramax conversion nito (from Detriot Diesel)...

http://www.lynchhummer.com/ for everything you needed to know about the H1 including year to year changes.

1995 was the first year that a Hummer was offered from the factory with a gas engine. The gas engine is significantly quieter than the diesel and offered a reliable addition to the Hummer line. The disadvantages to the gas engine included lower fuel economy and decreased fording ability. 1995 was the highest production for the H1 with approximately 1,432 built, about 25 -30% of which were gas models.

Great that's something new to me otep!

I jump into conclussion that since the HUMVEE was originally designed for military use, they would never use a gas engine in it kasi in actual combat situation mahirap merun gas tank na sumasabog and engine na iba pa ang spareparts than most engines of the other vechicles in the combat zone.
