I have the option of restoring a bike of this nature and I was wondering if it would be worth it? Where can I find parts and stuff for it if I do decide to do this project?|||What do you mean by "worth it"? Will you get your money out? That depends on what you started with, and what kind of restoration you do. I have seen guys spend $3500 on a full boat restoration of a small 2-stroke.
Only rarely will the market allow you to make much money. If the bike is fairly interesting, like a Puch twingle, you might break even. The Hummer is not technically interesting. The only thing it has going for it is the Harley name. Without that, a perfect one might be worth $500-1000. The Harley name probably puts it in a range where you might get your money out.
Now, if you are asking if the project is worth it in terms of pride and satisfaction, then I'd say that is why most restorers are into it.|||1952 HARLEY-DAVIDSON M/S 125 HUMMER 125cc:
Excellent: $5,100
Very Good: $2,750
Good: $1,650
Fair: $1,000
Poor: $700
Hope this gives you a ballpark figure on value.|||It is certainly worth it!You can find parts at swap meets,The best I've seen are motorcycle vintage days.Go toAmericanMotorcyclist.com for info on dates .One in Cal.,one in Ohio.

Why do people buy a large SUV or a Hummer?
Since 9/11, when it got clear to the last idiot, that we support the terrorists with our thirst for oil, I have seen actually more people getting gaz guzzling behemoth then ever. What are they for? My Mini Van gets 28 miles to the gallon, rides more comfortalbe and has more space then any of this truck like dinosaurs.|||people wanna look cool and show that they can try to afford to put the gas in those things|||Some SUVs are purchased as status symbols, with the Cadillac Escalade as the most prominent example, by showing that someone has the resources to not care how much their vehicle costs to purchase or refuel. Others are used for their named purpose, of sport utility, by outdoor sports enthusiasts who enjoy the large cargo capacity along with a high ground clearance and 4WD for off-road driving.
Please, however, keep politics in the political discussion areas.|||too look rich and fly as hell|||convenience|||Most of the SUV's that I see are usually bought by families who have two or more children.
People buy Hummers just to be noticed.|||I drive a Hummer and I get 19 mpg's....thats better than A LOT of vehicles out there. I got it because it is awesome and I absolutely love it.|||there just trying to keep up with the jones(a clear case of one
up manship ) and then they get the attitude (i got a suv ,and i own the road) and when they pass me i let them know that
there number one with me (even though i use the wrong finger
to let them know that).|||Well, one man's food is another man's poison...it depends on each person's taste and choice. I do not like a mini van at all. Thank you.
If you are so worried about the saving gas, mileage etc I would say you should immediately sell your mini van and buy some bicycles or try walking to wherever you can possibly walk to. All the very best.|||different people have differnt taste in cars? i personally like suv because i think they look better also cause im tall and im lazy to bend down to get into a car =x and suv are more convients for family of 5+ hummers are fun because of there high suspension?|||Thank God it's still a free country where you can buy whatever you can afford.
Many people favor larger vehicle because they need the room for their families, towing capacity, hauling groceries and other supplies, etc. If you have a large family it's tuff to cram them into a Hyundai. And many folks use their cars for work and play. Towing a boat, snowmobile, camper, etc. isn't a job for a small car.
I have large and small vehicles...I own two class 8 trucks (A peterbilt and an International). I also own two British Triumphs which are pretty small. My daily driver is a 6 cylinder Ford F-150 and a Lincoln Continental. My Lincoln gets 26 MPG on the highway. I can live with that.|||Take this tear jerker to the Politics section please.....

Your estimate of how much my hummer would cost?
For my 12th I wont to take 10 of my friends in a hummer ( possibly pink ) to a shopping center just out of town , after doing two stops on the way to here to collect my friends. How much to you think this would cost ? I'm gunna try and phone up later cuzz i couldnt get threw|||Well it's impossible to take 10 friends in a hummer because it is a 7 passenger unless you make your friends sit on each others laps. If you want a hummer limo it would cost around 90000 to 80000.|||Well you got a H1, H2, H3 and a H3T in the hummer line, But as far as 10 friends packed into a hummer you are talking about a H2 strech limo, rental will run you about 125 to 200 for 3-4 hrs
BUT again the H2 looks cool but not much in the way of comfort with leg and head room. Have you ever thought of a party bus or van? Lots of stand up room and during the day you can get a lower rate than at night, and it should run about 75 to a 100 more than the H2|||The money would be better spent on spelling, grammar and punctuation lessons. It would run several hundred dollars and would be an absolute waste of resources.|||you mean renting a hummer limosine?

Without the union wages, and funding needed for the retirement packages Hummers should be dirt cheap! How will Obama Motors compete with that?|||I agree that without the union wages, and funding for the retirement packages Hummers should be dirt cheap. Why did our government give $100 Billion to GM? For what reason? They are now bankrupt and the money is long gone. Is anyone asking when it will be paid back? Is the media asking? When will the media confront Obama for this insanity, corruption and hypocrisy?Where is the outrage from the taxpayers? Only one in five agree to the bailout - where are the other four out of five? Where is the outrage? We the taxpayers must wake up! o_O|||Good point. But I still would not buy one.|||No the Taliban have secured all the advance orders
Hopefully there will be some 2020 Models available.|||Just watch out for the lead paint.|||I am holding out for my Obamamotors Vega.|||They will be smaller, get better gas mileage, and be more affordable.|||Government Made (GM) is going to have trouble competing with such a streamlined work force and manufacturing process.

i have a Jeep 4x4 Liberty Sport that lost half its Value when i drove it of the lot.........
the Toyotas are each 8 yeras old and worth as much as the Liberty now........
Go figure~!|||maybe but id advise against going over any bumps it may fall apart|||Maybe not that cheap, but they would be cheaper. However, I doubt that they would be available in the US. The Hummer barely made emissions and safety standards in the US when made by GM. How could the Chinese do better since they don't care much for either.
My prediction is that they won't be available in the US for a while. When they are, they will be so different no one will recognize them.

Should I trade my hummer h3 for a Toyota supra?
I have a 2006 hummer h3 with 51k miles with a little upgrades and i was wondering should I trade it for a 1994 Toyota supra with 81k. Original miles with a little upgrades too. The owner of the supra wants 1k cash with the trade. I'm a huge supra fan should I do it?|||Yes, Hummer's are horrible.|||If it's a Supra Turbo, it's a great trade value-wise for you even if you have to throw in $1K cash. A 1994 Supra Turbo in excellent shape can bring upward of $24K, even in 2010. Your Hummer is worth about $17K according to kbb.com in excellent condition.
If it's a non-turbo 1994 Supra it's another story entirely. The non-turbo '94 is only worth about $14K in excellent condition, so you'd be losing value in the trade even if you didn't hand the guy cash + your car in trade. Don't make that trade, even if you like Supras, unless you also enjoy losing money.
As for whether you should trade for a 1994 Supra if you're going to use it as your only car and daily driver over a 2006 H3, I probably wouldn't if the Supra will be your only car. 17 model-years old is still 17 years old and I wouldn't rely on a 17 year old car as my only source of transport (even if it was really sweet looking...). If I were looking at it as a 2nd car, then I'd be more interested if it were me.|||Yes, because the supra is the best sports car ever made for the money.|||Yes everything is better than a Hummer!

What would be a fair price to charge per ticket if I raffled off a hummer for Gay Rights?
Would you pay 100 bucks for a hummer? I know they're not the most ecofriendly vehicles but if I look good in one imagine how good you'd look.|||You don't even want to know what the first thing I thought when I read that was. lol.|||Yeah $100 sounds good!|||I'd defiantly turn heads driving one down the streets of Sydney, especially with left hand drive. If I won it it would cost me a arm and leg to have it shipped over and to have it registered and green slipped. Yes I'd buy a ticket what the hey, the money's going towards a good cause and I'd give the hummer to an US LGBT organization that really needed a vehicle to collect food or deliver food or move furniture for persons living with HIV/AIDS.|||How much for a hummer in a Hummer?|||I'd pay $100 for a Hummer. That's not a bad price at all, for even a chance. And it goes for a good cause.|||Forget the car. You could probably make more money by agreeing to accept hummers for $10 a pop.|||Maybe take the "green" route and raffle off a Prius, or something. The $100 won't even fill a gas tank for the Hummer!!|||sure, $100 is a good price if you intend to sell only 1 or 2 k tickets ,if you think you can sell more and depending on the dynamics of the social-economics $100 or perhaps more.
all the best.|||Dayum, my mind started out in the gutter.... I'm a bad grrl.
You'd have to figure out how many tickets you'd sell, how much it would cost to buy the thing, and how much money you want to raise to give to charity.|||You need Jesus

What is the MOS job for the army soldier who is the Hummer driver?
I was wondering if this is a specific MOS or just 11x infantry and you just switch around who is driving. Most info i have about the army or any military is band of brothers and generation kill.

-David|||There isn't necessarily a specific HMMWV (Humvee) driver job. While there are Motor Transport Operator (MOS 88M) jobs, that doesn't mean you will drive Humvees exclusively. Just about anyone can drive a Humvee if they are licensed for one. MP's, Communications, Medics, and all sorts of personnel who don't have "driver" as their job description drive Humvees.|||88M|||MOS are pretty generic regarding driving. For the Marines and Army you'll get a rating when you do an engineer or mechanic MOS but it's part of your IF training.|||almost everyone in the army has a liscence to drive a humvee.
each squad uses its own guys to drive. if you're in a infantry platoon, it will be an infantryman driving (11x is infantry recruit, once you hit training you'll be made either an 11b or an 11c). if your in a supply unit, it will be 88Ms or other support MOSs driving.
if your in a cav scout platoon it will be 19Ds driving
im sure you get the point
as for how they handle who exactly drives: thats a unit by unit thing. some units make their new guys drive so the "old timers" can take care of manning the turret and being able to do dismount. others use an experience specialist who's less likely to hit something or flip the vehicle or get stuck than a FNG (F'n New Guy) is. its a unit by unit issue.|||The driver of a vehicle in a particular unit is typically one of the soldiers in that unit that was chosen to drive. 88M's are not typically assigned to infantry units to drive a HMMWV or Fire Fighting units to drive the fire truck.

What kind of wheel adapters i need.i have a jeep grand cherokee and i want to put hummer wheels on my jeep?
my husband has a jeep grand cherokee either a 96 or 98 and was given a set of hummer wheels but he said he needed wheel adapters to put the hummer wheels on. i figured it would be a good xmas gift but i have no clue what type of wheel adapters i need or where to start...lol please help??!?! :)|||4wheelparts.com will sell them
you need to go from 5 lug Jeep to 6 lug Chevrolet. The adapters are not cheap at all and will space out the wheels a couple inches. Keep that in mind before you buy them.|||What kind of Hummer are the wheels from? If they are from an H2 you will need a 5x114.3 to 8x6.5 adapter. Most adapters are going to be thick. That coupled with the offset of the hummer wheels will most likely cause the tire to hit the fender/bumper when turning. There is much more to getting wheels and tires to fit than the right bolt pattern. Also, if they are from an H2 and came with tires the tires will be way too large unless the Jeep has been lifted at least 8.5 inches.

Go talk to some paint places and get some prices.|||5k would be about right. And it would have to be repainted everytime a bird pooped on it. If you live in an aread where they salt the roads, that would also stain it and you would have to have it painted everytime it came in contact with saltwater. Flat black can only be hand washed using specialized detergents. Not practical for a daily driver.

How many people like the smaller Hummer H3?
It is smaller , better on gas and great off road an damm cool looking.|||yes, it's great on gas, and great off road. it's a good design overall.|||The H3? You cannot even call it a "Hummer" anymore. Just take a look at it! And I think the H3 is just a flimsy version of the Jeep Cherokee, Cause It has a similar size and same chassis, much like the H2 with the Suburban or Tahoe. The H1 is the only original Hummer! For its specifications is not based on cheap SUVs! It is all original! H1 is still the best!|||I do|||I have an H2, but I'd like to trade my Avalanche for an H3. When you go HUMMER you don't go back. If you pull into a HUMMER dealership and they are H2's and H3's parked in a line it is hard to determine which is which at first. I've drove different H3's, but none compare to the one's with the Off-Road Package. At HUMMER of Knoxville, TN they have a off-road course and it is awesome ride in a vehicle that will go over the things that it will. I would recommend an H2 or H3 to anybody.|||It's another SUV. The H1 was the real HUMMER|||I AM SORRY THE NEW VERSION LOOK THE SAME, A SMALLER SHOE BOX NO STYLE IN MY OPPION PEOPLE BUY ANYTHING THAT THEY THINK MAKES THEM LOOK COOL AND I MUST SAY YOU DONT LOOK COOL IN THESE THINGS, ITS LIKE A CAT CHASING A BALL OF STRING SOME ONE JUMPS OFF A CLIFF AND EVERYONE FOLLOWES NOT ME I STICK TO A REAL TRUCK FORD HANDS DOWN MORE FOR YOUR MONEY AND IT WILL BE IN YOUR GARAGE MORE THAN THE DEALER NO I DONT CARE FOR EM ,IF I WON ONE, I WOULD TRADE IT IN ON A FORD TRUCK|||I think they are the ultimate short guy vehicle.

Can the HUMMER really last an average of 300,000 miles?
Recent articles have described how the HUMMER can be more environmentally friendly than the Toyota Prius. One of the main points these articles make is that the HUMMER is rated for 300,000 miles while the Prius only goes for 100,000 miles.
Does anyone have any evidence of the HUMMER's expected lifespan? I couldn't find promotional material at the HUMMER site that says it and no datasheets that have that number.

Are mud flaps of the Australian design of the Hummer h3 removable?

H1 hummer ran out of diesel and now it will not start. How can i purge the system to get air out?
my hummer ran out of diesel fuel now there is air in system and will not start i need a fix how to purge air from fuel system|||this is not a good thing, for future reference never ever run a diesel out of diesel, it is not like a car, this may well end up in the shop, and be a pain in the butt, lets hope it is just out of diesel, but please do not do this again if at all possible.|||YOu need to fill your tank, disconnect the diesel lines but be careful there might still be pressure in them, you need to use a suction pump to suck diesel onto the line until it comes out, from all lines then tight them back up. You can try doing one at a time and placing them back as you have filled them with fuel. That is how i do it, someone might have an easier way. The key is to restore the fuel to the lines, because when you go empty the system sucks air into the lines and since air is non compressible the air remains in the system until you drain it out.|||Just keep turning it over, it will purge itself. Put a charger or booster on the battery if need be.|||You have air in the system.
Can be a pain to start again. Does the engine have a manual pump in the fuel line or filter?
If not, you can either disconnect the fuel feed into the filter and draw the fuel through using a vacuum pump, or remove the filter, and if possible fill it with fresh diesel.
Then crank the engine in 15 second bursts until it fires up.
It will probably take 20 minutes to fire up.

My oil pressure goes down as the hummer gets warm?

What gives?|||when car gets warmer, oil gets thinner.|||I would install an engine oil pressure gauge on the engine to check your dash gauge which could be reading erratically due to a gauge or wiring problem. You can tape the shop type oil pressure gauge to your outside windshield and drive the vehicle to see what the actual engine oil pressure is really measuring.|||It's normal for oil pressure to drop a little as the oil heats up and thins out, it's also normal for it to fluctuate with engine speed. If the fluctuation is all at idle you may have a bad sending unit, or there may still be some sludge left in it. If it just falls when it gets warm and stays low you may have some main bearing damage.|||Hmm Possible rod and main damage. It should drop some. But this sounds more serious than that. Possible a cracked block here. Why did it have sludge in the pan? This should never happen.
What is the difference between a military humvee and a hummer?
Greg...if your HMMWV doesn't have power steering take it to the motor pool. They should all be R1 or A2 series by now.
The military models of the humvee differ greatly from the civilian sector. JP-8 is just a dryer diesel fuel.
if you look at the chassis on the HMMWV there are no frame to body or body to body welds. this is to make it more practical to change a component in adverse conditions. Also a major difference can be noticed when looking at the brakes on a Humvee and hummer. The Humvee has disk brakes connected directly to the differentials instead of hub to give it more "true" ground clearance.
You will not find a humvee with a 5.7 liter engine in the military. it will be either be a 6.2L, 6.5 detuned, 6.5 N/A, or a 6.5 T.
When the HMMWV was prototyped to be a civilian vehicle, it was a lot closer to todays then the ones the make now. they share very few features one being the general shape.
Also, it it not the differentials that give the HMMWV such a lower gear ratio. The diffs are geared as standard as they come. It is the hubs that make the difference. On an A2 series it is; 2.72:1=low and 1.01=high at the transfer case, the transmission is 1st- 2.48:1, 2nd- 1.48:1, 3rd- 1.0:1, 4th- .075:1, Reverse- 2.08:1, Torque Converter ratio- 2.1:1, 2.73:1=diffs, and the geared hubs are 1.92:1|||Amour plating and about 50 000 bucks
1 is street able the other is not|||Well, to start out, I am a Marine and have been for 5 years...... the military Humvees are not made for the everyday, luguray use as the hummer, our humvees have had seats, ruff ridding supention, no radio, no power stering, or anything special that most of us are use to having. But the Hummer has it all, leather seats, power everything, cd/mp3 player it has everything that you would need.....|||There are a few differances between a military issue Highly mobile multi-wheeled vehicle (HMMWV) and the civilian version called the hummer. Most notibly is the type of gas the engine uses. The military version uses something called JP-8 which is the military's version of an all purpose desiel fuel. Then there is the armor platting and vechile mountings for equipment like radios, turret mounted weapons, There are also sevral versons of the military HMMWV, Ranging from the M1114 to the M1025
Some have things like AC others don't as well as other mission specific essentals that the civilian verson does not need. Personally I don't see why anyone would want a hummer. Can you say Gas gussler|||The Civilian hummer has no armor. The Civilian Hummer is geared for highway speed. The Army Humvee has a lower rear gear ratio so that it is powerful, but slower.
Eg.) Hummer has gear ratio of 3.73:1, where the Humvee might have a ratio of 20:1 or something.
It has the same size of engine but with the low gear ratio and weight it could pull 4 civilian hummers (with the parking brake applied) around the block serveral times.|||besides the armor plating and the gas mileage and the top speed and the weight, the military humvee has guns mounted on it|||The Army Humvee has armor under the car and all around it. The army version is made out of very thick metal and gets 1-2miles per gallonn with gas. It is very heavy and the top speed is only 85mph.|||Ditto What Greg Said...SEMPER FIDELIS!!!... Military Hummers Are Cold, Loud And you inhale exhaust the whole time if the rear is not secured. Think of if you took a civilian hummer stripped it of all interior and sound deadening. took away 100 HP and rear view mirror. and replaced your seat with a phonebook wrapped in terry cloth and there you have it. Another little know fact is that all hummers fuel is switched from JP-8 to JP-5 when they are transported on ship because the flash point of JP-5 is min. 60 掳C and is more suitable for naval conditions.|||The original HUMVEE is more rugged, has a higher chassis, and I believe is no longer available to the public(could be wrong though), as in you can only purchase them second hand. The HUMMER is basically the civilian model, the entire thing isn't as rugged, has a lower chassis. I am not familiar with the H2.

You will not find a humvee with a 5.7 liter engine in the military. it will be either be a 6.2L, 6.5 detuned, 6.5 N/A, or a 6.5 T.
When the HMMWV was prototyped to be a civilian vehicle, it was a lot closer to todays then the ones the make now. they share very few features one being the general shape.
Also, it it not the differentials that give the HMMWV such a lower gear ratio. The diffs are geared as standard as they come. It is the hubs that make the difference. On an A2 series it is; 2.72:1=low and 1.01=high at the transfer case, the transmission is 1st- 2.48:1, 2nd- 1.48:1, 3rd- 1.0:1, 4th- .075:1, Reverse- 2.08:1, Torque Converter ratio- 2.1:1, 2.73:1=diffs, and the geared hubs are 1.92:1|||Amour plating and about 50 000 bucks
1 is street able the other is not|||Well, to start out, I am a Marine and have been for 5 years...... the military Humvees are not made for the everyday, luguray use as the hummer, our humvees have had seats, ruff ridding supention, no radio, no power stering, or anything special that most of us are use to having. But the Hummer has it all, leather seats, power everything, cd/mp3 player it has everything that you would need.....|||There are a few differances between a military issue Highly mobile multi-wheeled vehicle (HMMWV) and the civilian version called the hummer. Most notibly is the type of gas the engine uses. The military version uses something called JP-8 which is the military's version of an all purpose desiel fuel. Then there is the armor platting and vechile mountings for equipment like radios, turret mounted weapons, There are also sevral versons of the military HMMWV, Ranging from the M1114 to the M1025
Some have things like AC others don't as well as other mission specific essentals that the civilian verson does not need. Personally I don't see why anyone would want a hummer. Can you say Gas gussler|||The Civilian hummer has no armor. The Civilian Hummer is geared for highway speed. The Army Humvee has a lower rear gear ratio so that it is powerful, but slower.
Eg.) Hummer has gear ratio of 3.73:1, where the Humvee might have a ratio of 20:1 or something.
It has the same size of engine but with the low gear ratio and weight it could pull 4 civilian hummers (with the parking brake applied) around the block serveral times.|||besides the armor plating and the gas mileage and the top speed and the weight, the military humvee has guns mounted on it|||The Army Humvee has armor under the car and all around it. The army version is made out of very thick metal and gets 1-2miles per gallonn with gas. It is very heavy and the top speed is only 85mph.|||Ditto What Greg Said...SEMPER FIDELIS!!!... Military Hummers Are Cold, Loud And you inhale exhaust the whole time if the rear is not secured. Think of if you took a civilian hummer stripped it of all interior and sound deadening. took away 100 HP and rear view mirror. and replaced your seat with a phonebook wrapped in terry cloth and there you have it. Another little know fact is that all hummers fuel is switched from JP-8 to JP-5 when they are transported on ship because the flash point of JP-5 is min. 60 掳C and is more suitable for naval conditions.|||The original HUMVEE is more rugged, has a higher chassis, and I believe is no longer available to the public(could be wrong though), as in you can only purchase them second hand. The HUMMER is basically the civilian model, the entire thing isn't as rugged, has a lower chassis. I am not familiar with the H2. The H3 is built off the Blazer chassis.|||don't really know but. i suspect the luxuries. of driving everyday. cd player interior. paint/
Does it really cost more to produce a Toyota prius than a Hummer?
Nickel in the batteries in the prius are mined in plants that do terrible damage to the envirnment, and the cars themselves incur more cost during their lifetime than do Hummers. Is this true?|||Let's put to rest this urban myth about Hummers being better for the environment than Prius. Get comfy...
The plant in Sudbury where Toyota buys approximately 1.5% of the plant's annual nickel output can be seen using this Google maps address:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q%26amp;hl=en%26amp;la鈥?/a>
Sudbury, Ontario is called the mining capital of the world for good reason.
The Sudbury plant has been in continuous operation since the rock was blasted to make way for the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1883.
That means that nickel has been mined there for the last 124 years. The Prius has been on the road since 1999. What about all the environmental damage done for the 116 years before the Prius ever came along?
There used to be a great deal of pollution at the Sudbury plant, just like there was at a lot of factory facilities. However, new pollution controls are in place and Sudbury residents themselves will talk about how things are improving dramatically in the area around the plant. Young trees are growing there, even now.
Another thing noted about the area around the plant is the Apollo astronauts trained there. It has been said that the area around the plant was as lifeless a wasteland as the moon. Actually, the astronauts trained there because the rock formations were similar to those on the moon. This area of Ontario was hit by a meteorite which created a basin and caused much of the look of the area. The moonscape feeling is also from the slag heaps from smelter output. Anyone who has ever seen any factory facility knows there is always a large amount of material left over from the original raw materials, be that a nickel plant, a steel smelter, or a dog food producer.
Also the environmental damage is not all due to the nickel plant - there is other industry, and a lot of the trees disappeared due to extensive logging.
Take a look for yourself. Here's a breakdown:
The Sudbury nickel plant produces around 60,000 tons of nickel per year. If Toyota buys 1000 tons/year, that's around 6% of the total output.
I have personally presented a Prius battery to local safety responders and fire department personnel. The entire pack weighs 117.47 pounds, which is the components as well as the actual nickel itself. The nickel weighs about 50 pounds. So that's 50lb per Prius, with 2000 pounds per ton, that's 40 Prius per ton of nickel.
Considering the plant puts out 120,000,000 pounds of nickel each year, each Prius uses about 0.000024 of the annual production of the Sudbury plant. Please double check my math and contact me if I need to make any corrections.
So, let's use common sense when looking at a vehicle like a Prius and what it uses for fuel, space, and amount of material to build. And then let's consider what a vehicle like a Hummer would require in those three areas. Obviously, the Hummer consumes much more resources, and the same basic types of resources, as the Prius.
Any other questions on this, or any other aspect of the Prius or Toyota, please contact me.|||the only thing i know is that you don't get nickel from plants.|||If you are talking about damage to the environment, you are correct. See the URL for the article below.|||The article from that website seems a little ridiculous. Do the really only expect the Prius, a TOYOTA, to only last 100,000 miles. Or even more surprising that the Hummer will last for 300,000 miles, ha ha. All I know is the Prius is definatly a step in the right direction and the Hummer is most certainly not.|||Yes its true. The Hummer is cheap to produce because it is built on a very high volume platform (2 million or so vehicles) so the development and tooling costs can be spread out over a lot of vehiles. The Prius doesnt have this. The batteries are very expensive to produce and yes the do horrible damage to the environment.
As for the Hummer lasting 300k miles. If you take care of it sure it will last. The Prius will need new batteries long before that at a cost of $2,500+. It pretty much will total your car out because buying new batteries will cost more than the car is worth. Most people think you will need new batteries at 100k miles. Thats where the lifetime miles come from. I dont drive on so I dont know.|||Nazim is not very smart,the nickel must be smelted which is done inside a plant.Nothing grows around this plant because of the pollution from it.|||It's not using less energy to make they are comparing apples to watermelons. Not only are their numbers grossly exaggerated but they aren't doing the comparison correctly.
$3.25 per mile over 100,000 miles is $325,000
$1.95 per mile over 300,000 miles is $585,000
Interesting...seems like more energy cost in the hummer to initially build. Plus...if that's the energy cost to make one car why doesn't the price reflect that? The base H3(the one i've been using so far) sells for $30k. The base prius sells for $22k. I find it hard to beleive that a company LOSES that much money every time they sell a car...
And on another note. The new EPA ratings for the prius is at 45 average the hummer at 15 average. Gasoline right now is $2.90 here.
Prius over 200k miles is 4,444 gallons coming out to $12,887.60 for gasoline.
Hummer over 200k miles is 13,333 gallons coming out to $38,665.70 for gasoline.
That's a $25,778.10 extra spent on gasoline alone on the consumer side.
So over 200k miles INCLUDING $3,000 for a new battery at 100k miles the prius comes out to $37,887 plus normal maintenance for a toyota.
The hummer $68,665 over the life of the car with normal maintenance for a GM product(which we all know is alot I currently own a GM prduct(yuck)).
Yeah, that plant pollutes like crazy *in that one area*. Is it better to have one bad place and alot of good places to breathe or all over being an OK place to breathe...Plus, any gasoline you buy ends up sending money to people to help kill our troops...gotta love those hypocritical bumper stickers.|||Professor of prius is 10000% correct. That CCCU research is so biased it's not even funny. Wonder how much money GM contributes to that campus each year? Another thing that plant in Sudbury has been producing nickel for over a century.

How much would a 6 inch lift cost on a 2007 Hummer H2 SUT?
I am not sure how all of this works. I would also want some bigger off-road tires and nice (black) rims to go with this. Install too..

wheels and tires are probably not going to be less than 1000 since they are so big, but you could spend up to 5000 on wheel and tires.
if you get larger wheels you might have to buy upgraded brakes because you have more mass rotating and the stock brakes weren't designed to handle that stress|||2300+ depending on rim size

How to make a hummer shaped cake?
well, dont know how well it would work, but....get a rectangle cake pan (whatever size you want your "hummer") and bake your cakes...Then, stack two or three, one on top of the other. And then use cupcake molders to fill with cake and bake it, then, once its baked, take one of your cup cakes, and lay side ways...cutting off the top of cupcake, leaving the bottom half to use as tires. And then...just cover with frosting and use other stuff to decorate.|||That's a toughie! Good luck.|||Put wheels on a piece of pount cake you get from the supermarket
How does driving a Hummer lead to global warming?
Today I saw the most beautiful lady at the gas pump filling up her Hummer. That Hummer looked so cool that I wish I could afford to buy one.|||You dump excess CO2 in the atmosphere. Not to mention, you spend a ridiculous amount of money on gas. My friend sold his and bought a hybrid.|||The same as any other automobile that burns fuel.|||It puts off carbon monixode and that vaporizes oxygen so it creates global warming|||gas|||It only gets about 7 mpg and that burns a lot of fuel and puts out more carbine monoxide|||it doesnt, it would take 15 billion ford explores driven 15,000 miles a year to put out 0.0003% of co2 that nature does. And there are only 600 million cars in the world today. Besides the co2 footprint of one fast food hamburger is larger than the co2 footprint of a car driven for 200,000 miles. So if you do believe in global warming than just stop eating hamburgers instead of not buying a hummer. And to the guy who gave you the other answer hummers get 14 city and 18 highway mpg not 7.
|||Hummers might lead to warming but not global|||My Hummer is really hot|||It doesn't. This was a cry from the radical environmentalist groups that were becoming dead set against anyone that drove anything that did not meet their requirements. |||It does absolutely NOTHING to effect the cliamte.
|||It's a free country and it's their money. Buy whatever makes you happy. Eviromentals should worry about what they are doing to combat the evil Co2 emissions that will no doubt kill us all, and not worry about what other people are doing. It's fine to want to be "green". But don't badger people about how much they are killing the planet. They don't want to hear it.|||Driving a hummer can lead to global warming because it takes a lot of gas and so more harmful fuels are let out in the air we breath.

What kind of petrol i should use for my new vehicle, Hummer H3?
Recently, i bought a new vehicle,it is the Hummer H3. The dealer advises me using special petrol(#95), but i would like to use the super petrol(#98). My friends told me that the super petrol could damage the engine. So what about your good idea?|||us yanks just put #87 in them. it will not hurt the engine at first but it will build up on your valve seats and stems causing less airflow which causes less fuel economy. if your car says #95 that is because it is engineered to be operated on #95 and it is best to follow manufacturer standers.
besides higher octane burns up faster and dirtier than lower. use the #95 you will be happier in the long run|||No it doesn't damage your engine because the difference of bot are nothing but you can loose the warranty

Can the new Hummer 3 really transform into a submarine and travel underwater?
Then what's the point of their stupid commercial? Some ads are just retarded!|||If it's diesel, and the electrical connections are all sealed, and it has a snorkel that is above water, then any vehicle can do that. A friend on mine in Australia used to do that for fun in an old Toyota Lancruiser with a diesel engine. I think it's there way of saying that they would like everyone who buys a Hummer to ruin the interior, dash electrics, carpet, seats, etc...so they can buy another one.
Yep, it is pretty retarded. And the people that think that it is a good idea to do that are also retarded. Face it, many Hummer owners seem to be retarded - otherwise, they'd buy a Suburban - which is the same, except for the bodywork. This means that the Hummer has worse visibility, worse aerodynamics, worse fuel consumption, less interior space - but is otherwise identical to a Suburban. There is a reason the military still use the original Hummer - the road versions have none of the good gear (the versatile engine, 4-wheel independant suspension, etc) the original came with.
Its like seeing a Ferrari, then going out and buying a Ferrari body with Suzuki mechanicals, suspension and chassis. Sad, huh?|||Haven't you noticed that all the truck ads are unbelievable There all so fake I can't believe anyone would take them seriously.|||I'd have to say no... however, if you notice, it never says "vehicle can't actually transform into a submarine" anywhere in the ad. Go to the hummer dealership and buy one, and then sue them for not delivering what their ad promised.|||A stock one definately could not do that. However, with a little modification, sure it could. Definately would void the warranty though.

What if the Chinese make a Better Hummer?
Something that runs on natural gas or electricity. Then they turn around and sell these less polluting vehicles to the US. Wouldn't that be a real kick in the groin?|||they already have.|||Obama will TAX it so high that we won't be able to buy it anyway.|||I had a good Chinese hummer once.|||The Hummer will be built in the US regardless of who owns it.|||Or what if they make it like their Toy's they've been sending over here ?|||I still wouldn't buy one, especially from a communist country.|||I personally don't think we should allow the military contract with HUMMER to continue. There are other alternatives that are better and made in (with the company owned by) the US. Look at what the defense side of International Harvester offers. It's great.
What is the point of owning a hummer?

Since Hummer was sold to China, what does this mean for military hummers?
Will we continue to use new military hummers even though we'll have to buy them from china?|||Military HMMWVs have NEVER been made by the former GM subsidiary commercial Hummer brand (the naming rights of which were purchased from the real HMMWV manufacturer AM General)
Edit: You still don't have it straight. GM/Hummer/China has NOTHING to do with military HMMWVs (or Hum-Vs, we rarely call our vehicles HUmmers). AM General is not a part of GM. AM General DID manufacture H1s and H2s for GM though.

Edit: And just for the record, Humvees don't suck. They were a brilliant design and do what they were designed to do magnificently.

In the next year or so we might be seeing Hummer bicycles or Hummer socket wrench sets, Hummer tube socks and sportswear, Hummer mens' cologne and soap on a rope. All cheap junk made in China, like most of the cheap junk we buy, but people will buy it because it has that Hummer brand and they know it won't impoverish them in operating expenses. 8^)|||Hell all most everything is made there now The uniforms that we ware are even made there how great it is that are own country wont even do the work of making the uniforms that protects us so as far as the hummer they will probably buy more of them|||What Wuzzit has the correct answer.

1. Multifuel, can run even on waste oil at the oil changing centers.
2. Good for public discourse, should riots or problems arise
3. Distinctive.
4. Safe to drive, even from Road Rage.

And the road rage thing, dont think that many people would cut u off, but if it does get on, the only bad thing is they can out run you.|||1.Somewhat ied safe
2.Could go anywhere you want
3.On board air control for airing down tires|||because people wont F**k with you, lol

Would you have a Hummer for your vehicle of choice?
I think it would be like driving a small 18 wheeler. They look like a metal box on wheels. There not streamlined at all . They probably push an acre of air as they speed down an interstate. I wonder what kind of mileage they get. I wonder if the people who buy them pretend to be soldiers going into combat.|||Sure if I crapped money and peed gasoline.|||LoL...combat You mean (the daily traffic crunch) hahaha
Well any of the 3 hummers on the road today look pretty cool but they are pigs for Fuel!!! "12-13mpg city" and well i would'nt have one even if i could... (just to mention)- they are all built off of the 3 GM-platforms eg Suburban, Tahoe, and Colorado...|||18 wheelers get surprisingly good mileage 15 mpg highway i think better the a H1 and if i was able to afford gas i would get the H1 Alfa **** you get rear ended in that the person that hits you tells you they hit you you'll say **** i got in an accident?? when???

One more thing it's not the fastest car in the world is it, I've got a range rover vouge V8 i bet it's alot faster than a hummer, better offroad, uses less fuel, has a better ride, is more luxuroius and not forgetting looks my range rover is like Angelina Jolie and the hummer is more like madonna A bit old and not all that good looking.

What kind of gas mileage does a Hummer get?
Do you any of own one or know somebody who owns one? It's not that I want one. I'm just curious to see how abysmal the fuel economy is. LOL.|||John, apparently you don't have a brain, you can't for a ridiculous answer as yours. No vehicle gets mpg's that bad. Next time read a book, or actually get out in the world and ask some Hummer drivers what mpg's they get, you can even look at what it says on the dash.|||Well I know two people with a Hummer one is an H1 and one is an H2. The H1 is a diesel, and the H2 is a gas. The H1 says it gets 2 MPG on the dash when he has the pedal on the floor, but averages about 15-20 mpg depending on the driver and speed. The H2 says it gets 1 MPG pedal to the floor, but averages around the same 15-25 MPG depending on speed and the driver. The guy with the H2 decided to add a Hydrogen boost, so electrolysis when there is energy being wasted, at idle or whatever, then dump the hydrogen for a real good boost that is Eco friendly, and doesn't hurt the motor.|||well lets just say insted of saying they get 20 miles a gallon they get a mile for every 20 gallons. yup... but in 2005 modles it was about 9 mpg in the 2010 its about 18. oh yeah and thats highway. city is less.

Is it true that a Hummer is cheaper to operate than Honda Prius at 150,000 miles?
A lot of people are talking hybrids, but the true cost to own has not been really told too well. It's been said, even at $4 gas, an H3 is cheaper to drive to 150,000 miles, than what it would cost to get a Prius in that same distance.
Is that true?|||Hi,
Toyota Prius, Toyota Camry Hybrid, Honda Insight, Honda Civic Hybrid
this is a complete myth, based on a Connecticutt college newspaper article repeating a very faulty study without bothering to check the faulty information.
I'll post the complete answer as to why, stay with it and you'll see why this is simply not true.
full answer, get comfy:
The entire hybrid battery stack actually costs $2985.13. I asked a Toyota Master tech with 16 years experience how long it would take to install if one had to be replaced, and I was told less than 3 hours at the top rate of $95 an hour, or about $285.00.
No where near "thousands to replace every few years".
You can't fool all of the people all of the time.
We'll start with the batteries and then go into maintenance, since part of this myth is a Prius needs more maintenance than a standard vehicle (completely false). Less maintenance also means less components to make and less to throw away or rebuild.
BTW, the Prius is rated an AT-PZEV, or Advanced Technology-Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle. That means the Prius puts out no emissions during part of the time it is driving and operating. Almost every other vehicle on the road does not come close to that mark.
Speaking for the hybrid batteries, there has yet to be a person who has paid for a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) hybrid to be replaced due to defects or failure.
Hybrids also use a lead acid battery like any other vehicle. But the hybrid battery is a nickel metal hydride one and they do not break down like lead acid batteries. Also, dumping any battery, lead acid or not, is extremely illegal and people love to prosecute environmental offenders these days.
There have been NiMH replaced due to accidents or owner abuse or attempted modification (one guy drilled a screw into his NiMH stack trying to install a big sub-woofer in the back).
Anything else you've seen or heard is a myth. Common sense says if these things were failing, it would be all over the news. The Prius have been in the US for nine, almost ten, years.
As far as the energy and materials for the NiMH batteries go:
Our federal government has tested NiMH batteries from the Prius and discovered they still maintain 90% of their capacity after 100,000 miles. Look up the testing at the DOE website.
BTW, the price for a new NiMH battery for either generation of the Prius is $2985.13, not the $5-10,000.00 that people like to throw around the internet. Call your local Toyota dealer and ask for the parts department.
And the current record is over 360,000 miles on a Prius using the original NiMH battery and hybrid system. Many Prius are used as taxis and also by the State of New York and Colorado as state municipal vehicles racking up 100,000-200,000 miles without issue on a regular basis.
Speaking for Toyota, there is an 800 number on each NiMH hybrid battery, and that number allows a person to turn in that battery for a $200.00 bounty. That's assuming a NiMH even gets out of the hands of an auto salvage company who will sell it to the top bidder. Who's going to throw something like that into a dump?
The entire battery, just like almost every bit of those vehicles, is completely recyclable.
The alkaline batteries that people use and throw out are a different type of battery than what is in vehicles like the Prius. The Hybrid Synergy Drive unit that Toyota developed is designed to keep the NiMH battery in a mid-peak charge range, trying not to top-charge it or, of course, completely discharge it.
That enables a NiMH to last fairly indefinitely. Obviously, there will be some breakdown eventually, but one of the great things about the Prius system, for example, is the NiMH battery is composed of 36 individual cells. If one cell goes bad, it can be replaced and the remainder stay. That is what's happened when Toyota has torture tested the Prius in Alaska and Death Valley.
Working with Toyota, I know about their commitments to recycling and the environment (Toyota's web site lists environmental reports dating back many years). At least 11 of Toyota's North American manufacturing plants produce zero landfill waste.
As far as the supposed "environmental impact" of the NiMH batteries in the Toyota and Lexus hybrids...
The plant in Sudbury where Toyota buys approximately 1.5% of the plant's annual nickel output can be seen using this Google maps address:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q%26amp;hl=en%26amp;la鈥?/a>
Sudbury, Ontario is called the mining capital of the world for good reason.
The Sudbury plant has been in continuous operation since the rock was blasted to make way for the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1883.
That means that nickel has been mined there for the last 125 years. The Prius has been on the road since 1998. What about all the environmental damage done for the 115 years before the Prius ever came along?
On to the maintenance of a Prius...
The cost of operation of a Prius is a little less than .11 cents per mile for each 100,000 miles of operation. I don't add in insurance, bank interest, or the cost of the vehicle itself, because all of those can vary based on each owner's situation. Add them to the .11 cents per mile amount.
A Prius will maintain 51-53 average if driven properly.
This means doubling your usual stopping distance and taking your foot off the accelerator at that double distance to shut down the ICE sooner when coming to a stop and then pressing the brake at your normal stopping distance gently to the stop.
Accelerate like there is a egg under the accelerator pedal and you're trying to roll the egg out, not make omelets. In other words, driving defensively and learning to get the most out of the hybrid drivetrain.
As far as the cost to operate a Prius over 100,000 miles:
- There is no steering belt or steering pump, the system is electronic and uses electric motors. There is no belt to wear and no pump to lose fluid out of. No additional parts to replace or maintain.
- There is no timing belt, there is a timing chain that is self-adjusting. No part to replace.
- There is no accelerator cable or cable linkage, once again, it is electronic. So there is no loss of acceleration over time from cable stretch and wear like on a standard vehicle. No additional parts to replace or maintain.
- The brake pads should never need to be replaced, they are hardly used due to the regenerative braking system. No parts to replace or maintain.
- As I said, you never touch the nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery or the hybrid system, it is self-regulating. No parts to replace or maintain.
- The gas engine is not tuned up for 100,000 miles. At even 15,000 miles per year, that's about seven years. And then...
- four spark plugs run $12.00 each, four is $48.00 (the wires aren't replaced and there are no distributors because each cylinder has a direct injection module and they are not replaced)
- coolant is $15.50 a gallon and you need two gallons, or $31.00 (if you live in an extremely hot or cold climate, you might need to change the coolant 2X in 100,000 miles so figure $62.00 there)
- air filters are $18.00 for the engine and $25.00 for the cabin and are replaced every 15,000 miles. So over 100,000 miles, we'll go high and say 7 sets of air filters at $301.00.
- at 100,000 miles, inspect the wiring, change the oil (might as well, since you're there) lube, inspect and flush the brake lines, flush the coolant if necessary. It runs about $225.00, which includes parts.
- the sealed, continuously variable transmission fluid is not changed until 90,000 miles, about $140.00
- The OEM (Original Equipment from the Manufacturer) Goodyear Integrity's are about $113.00 each, installed. The originals are low-rolling resistance, specialty tires, just like a truck or sports car. They will last about 35,000 or so. Three sets of 4 OEM tires- over 105,000 miles- will run $1356.00 installed (3 sets of 4 at $113.00 each = $1356.00).
- Oil and filter changes every 3000 miles and tire rotations every 6000 miles, just like any other vehicle. Oil changes are about $26.00 and tire rotations are about $18.00, or about $884.00 for oil changes and $306.00 for rotations over 100,000 miles
So, over 100,000 miles, for regular service, a Prius should run about $3322.00, rounded to $3400.00, or about .034 cents per mile.
All of my service and parts amounts come from a local Toyota dealership (not the corner cheapy lube), and do not figure in any kind of promotions, coupons, or discounts. I called on 4/11/08.
With gas at $3.75 a gallon, a Prius will run about $7,500 over 100,000 miles, or about .07 cents per mile (100,000 miles / 50 mpg (I get 51.7 mpg currently as an average, city and highway, auto temp w/air and stereo on) = 2000 gallons of gas X $3.75 a gallon = $7,500).
So a Prius will run about $11000 ($3400 + $7500), or about .11 cents per mile, to operate over 100,000 miles.
Any vehicle you are considering should be put to this kind of scrutiny. A vehicle is a major investment and it will cost you money to run properly. Please print this info out and use it to compare any vehicles by calling your local dealership and asking the parts and service departments what is involved in maintenance over 100,000 miles.
So, there are some of the details, but the bottom line is the Prius does not pollute more than a standard vehicle, no matter what it is.
Any more details, let me know or check my other posts here in Answers.|||Let's do some math.
Hummer H3 with 5-cylinder 3.7L engine, manual tranny (the most fuel-efficient version of the H3) gets 15 miles per gallon combined city/hwy: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/2008selem鈥?/a>
Prius gets 46 miles per gallon combined city/hwy: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/compx2008鈥?/a>
- For the H3 at 15mpg, 150,000 miles = 10,000 gallons of gas.
- For the Prius at 46mpg, 150,000 miles = 3261 gallons of gas.
- Gas cost for Prius would cost less than 1/3 that of the H3.
If you look at the maintenance costs:
- H3 has a curb weight of about 5,000 pounds and needs a lot of force to stop, 30,000 miles per set of brake pads. 150,000 miles = 5 sets of brake pads, 2 sets of rotors.
- Prius uses regenerative braking and does not need a brake pad change until 100,000 miles. 150,000 miles = 1 set of brake pads, no rotors.
- H3 requires differential lube every 20,000 miles. Prius does not.
Prius wins here too.
As far as the hybrid battery in the Prius goes, it's covered by Toyota with a standard 8-year / 100,000 mile warranty. If it fails before then, Toyota will replace it FREE. The Prius used as taxicabs in Vancouver has racked up over 200,000 miles with no problems with the battery whatsoever: http://autos.canada.com/green/story.html鈥?/a>
Whoever tells you the H3 is cheaper to operate than Prius probably failed grade-school math.|||I dont' see how.
The only downfall of the hybrid is its battery, which has to be replaced every 4-5 years and, ironically, is very wastefull.
But compare 45mpg to 17mpg over the life of the vehicle and I doubt the Hummer will be cheaper.|||Where did you get that information, from a Hummer salesman?? The Hummer is incredibly expensive to own, perhaps one of the most expensive vehicles under $50,000. Hummers have terrible repair records. The Prius is bullet-proof, it is so reliable.|||Not true.

I'll assume that you are comparing the Hummer H3 and the Toyota Prius.
According to Edmunds.com, the True Cost to Own over 5 years is (with depreciation, financing, insurance, fuel, maintenance %26amp; repairs, taxes %26amp; fees):
http://www.edmunds.com/new/2008/hummer/h鈥?/a>
Hummer H3: $66,769, with a starting cash price of $35,070, equating to an average of $0.89 per mile
http://www.edmunds.com/new/2008/toyota/p鈥?/a>
Toyota Prius: $42,780, with a starting cash price of $24,889, equating to an average of $0.57
The Prius is not only cheaper than the Hummer H3, but the Prius receives Edmunds' Lowest True Cost to Own award in its market segment (sedan under $25,000): http://www.edmunds.com/reviews/tco/2008/鈥?/a>
You can use Edmunds True Cost to Own calculator to see other vehicles, at: http://www.edmunds.com/reviews/tco/2008/鈥?/a>
Meanwhile, if you're talking just initial purchase price and cost of fuel... Use the governmental fuel economy testing, as it is the same test done to all vehicles so that they can be accurately compared to one another.
http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2鈥?/a>
We'll use the 5cyl automatic version of the Hummer H3, as that has the "best" fuel economy of the 2008 H3 offerings, at 14mpg city, 18 mpg highway, 15mpg combined. Based on 15,000 annual miles and $3.39 per gallon, the EPA estimates an annual fuel cost of $3392. (multiply by 10 to get your 150,000 miles)
The MSRP on a Hummer H3 is $31,340 + $1,695 for the automatic transmission. http://www.hummer.com/hummerjsp/home.jsp
http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2鈥?/a>
The 2008 Toyota Prius has the best fuel economy of all vehicles offered in the US for 2008, at 48mpg city, 45mpg highway, 46mpg combined. Based on 15,000 annual miles and $3.39 per gallon, the EPA estimates an annual fuel cost of $1103. (multiply by 10 to get your 150,000 miles.)
MSRP on the US Prius is $21,500. http://www.toyota.com/prius-hybrid/
So, the Hummer H3 costs more to purchase, and also costs more in fuel costs annually. So how is the H3 supposed to be cheaper to own than a Prius?
The Prius consistently is rated on the best bets for used cars and new cars lists, too.

Usually the mythic "article" from The Mail on the nickel in the hybrid cars' NiMH batteries is quoted from a now retracted article. The retraction that clears up this bit of misinformation is at: http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/pages/live鈥?/a>
(They were using data from the early 1970's about the INCO-Sudbury nickel mine, which was more than 20 years before the first hybrids needed NiMH batteries, and the plant has greatly cleaned themselves up and reforested the area since then. If you were to add up the amount of nickel in the million+ hybrids sold since 1997, the total is less than 1% of the world's annual nickel production (far more nickel is used for stainless steel, for example).)
Here's the 2004 Toyota Prius Green Report (life cycle assessment): http://www.toyota.co.jp/en/k_forum/tenji鈥?/a>
(you'll need to download the Japanese fonts for your PDF reader in order to read it, but the entire document is written in English.)
Over the lifespan of the Prius, when compared to a comparable mid-
sized gasoline vehicle, the Prius comes out ahead in the life cycle assessment (LCA) for airborne emissions for CO2, NOx, SOx, HC, but actually does worse for PM (thanks to the material and vehicle production stages). Measured lifespan is given as 10 years use/100,000km. The CO2 break-even point for the 2004 Prius compared to this unnamed gasoline vehicle is given at 20,000km. (more CO2 is emitted during Prius production, but the Prius makes up for it over it's driven lifetime.)
Another neat thing is that the Prius is one of the first uses of Toyota's Eco-Plastic (plastic made from plants, as opposed to petroleum products). The battery is recycleable (NiMH), as is much of the car (steel and aluminum body, for example).
As for the batteries themselves:
The lead-acid (Pb-A) 12v accessory batteries in hybrids tend to be smaller than those found in every traditional gasoline vehicle. Recycling programs are in place for traditional lead-acid batteries.
All the hybrids on the market use NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) batteries, which contain no heavy metals (so they're not hazardous waste, like the Pb-A batteries), and are easily recycled.
The hybrid battery packs in the Prius have labels on them for whom to contact to recycle them. See the HV Battery Pack Recycling section in the Prius Emergency Response Guides.

How long does the Prius battery last and what is the replacement cost?
The Prius battery (and the battery-power management system) has been designed to maximize battery life. In part this is done by keeping the battery at an optimum charge level - never fully draining it and never fully recharging it. As a result, the Prius battery leads a pretty easy life. We have lab data showing the equivalent of 180,000 miles with no deterioration and expect it to last the life of the vehicle. We also expect battery technology to continue to improve: the second-generation model battery is 15% smaller, 25% lighter, and has 35% more specific power than the first. This is true of price as well. Between the 2003 and 2004 models, service battery costs came down 36% and we expect them to continue to drop so that by the time replacements may be needed it won't be a much of an issue. Since the car went on sale in 2000, Toyota has not replaced a single battery for wear and tear.
Is there a recycling plan in place for nickel-metal hydride batteries?
Toyota has a comprehensive battery recycling program in place and has been recycling nickel-metal hydride batteries since the RAV4 Electric Vehicle was introduced in 1998. Every part of the battery, from the precious metals to the plastic, plates, steel case and the wiring, is recycled. To ensure that batteries come back to Toyota, each battery has a phone number on it to call for recycling information and dealers are paid a $200 "bounty" for each battery.
%26lt;/quote%26gt;
There are no commercially-available plug-in hybrids on the market so far. (So you cannot plug them in, other than the same gas station pump that most other regular cars use.) The hybrid battery is recharged either through regenerative braking (kinetic energy from coasting/slowing down spins a generator to make potential energy in the battery) or by taking excess power from the gasoline engine (use the gasoline engine as a generator) to recharge the hybrid battery. There is no plug. No charging off the mains/local electric supply.|||You mean Toyota Prius.
Honda's Hybrid cars are Civic and Insight.
The H3 is about the same.
The Toyota Batteries cost around $4000 to replace every 2-7 years depending on how much you drive.
But it gets at least 20mpg better than the Hummer H3.
Is that true?|||Hi,
Toyota Prius, Toyota Camry Hybrid, Honda Insight, Honda Civic Hybrid
this is a complete myth, based on a Connecticutt college newspaper article repeating a very faulty study without bothering to check the faulty information.
I'll post the complete answer as to why, stay with it and you'll see why this is simply not true.
full answer, get comfy:
The entire hybrid battery stack actually costs $2985.13. I asked a Toyota Master tech with 16 years experience how long it would take to install if one had to be replaced, and I was told less than 3 hours at the top rate of $95 an hour, or about $285.00.
No where near "thousands to replace every few years".
You can't fool all of the people all of the time.
We'll start with the batteries and then go into maintenance, since part of this myth is a Prius needs more maintenance than a standard vehicle (completely false). Less maintenance also means less components to make and less to throw away or rebuild.
BTW, the Prius is rated an AT-PZEV, or Advanced Technology-Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle. That means the Prius puts out no emissions during part of the time it is driving and operating. Almost every other vehicle on the road does not come close to that mark.
Speaking for the hybrid batteries, there has yet to be a person who has paid for a nickel metal hydride (NiMH) hybrid to be replaced due to defects or failure.
Hybrids also use a lead acid battery like any other vehicle. But the hybrid battery is a nickel metal hydride one and they do not break down like lead acid batteries. Also, dumping any battery, lead acid or not, is extremely illegal and people love to prosecute environmental offenders these days.
There have been NiMH replaced due to accidents or owner abuse or attempted modification (one guy drilled a screw into his NiMH stack trying to install a big sub-woofer in the back).
Anything else you've seen or heard is a myth. Common sense says if these things were failing, it would be all over the news. The Prius have been in the US for nine, almost ten, years.
As far as the energy and materials for the NiMH batteries go:
Our federal government has tested NiMH batteries from the Prius and discovered they still maintain 90% of their capacity after 100,000 miles. Look up the testing at the DOE website.
BTW, the price for a new NiMH battery for either generation of the Prius is $2985.13, not the $5-10,000.00 that people like to throw around the internet. Call your local Toyota dealer and ask for the parts department.
And the current record is over 360,000 miles on a Prius using the original NiMH battery and hybrid system. Many Prius are used as taxis and also by the State of New York and Colorado as state municipal vehicles racking up 100,000-200,000 miles without issue on a regular basis.
Speaking for Toyota, there is an 800 number on each NiMH hybrid battery, and that number allows a person to turn in that battery for a $200.00 bounty. That's assuming a NiMH even gets out of the hands of an auto salvage company who will sell it to the top bidder. Who's going to throw something like that into a dump?
The entire battery, just like almost every bit of those vehicles, is completely recyclable.
The alkaline batteries that people use and throw out are a different type of battery than what is in vehicles like the Prius. The Hybrid Synergy Drive unit that Toyota developed is designed to keep the NiMH battery in a mid-peak charge range, trying not to top-charge it or, of course, completely discharge it.
That enables a NiMH to last fairly indefinitely. Obviously, there will be some breakdown eventually, but one of the great things about the Prius system, for example, is the NiMH battery is composed of 36 individual cells. If one cell goes bad, it can be replaced and the remainder stay. That is what's happened when Toyota has torture tested the Prius in Alaska and Death Valley.
Working with Toyota, I know about their commitments to recycling and the environment (Toyota's web site lists environmental reports dating back many years). At least 11 of Toyota's North American manufacturing plants produce zero landfill waste.
As far as the supposed "environmental impact" of the NiMH batteries in the Toyota and Lexus hybrids...
The plant in Sudbury where Toyota buys approximately 1.5% of the plant's annual nickel output can be seen using this Google maps address:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q%26amp;hl=en%26amp;la鈥?/a>
Sudbury, Ontario is called the mining capital of the world for good reason.
The Sudbury plant has been in continuous operation since the rock was blasted to make way for the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1883.
That means that nickel has been mined there for the last 125 years. The Prius has been on the road since 1998. What about all the environmental damage done for the 115 years before the Prius ever came along?
On to the maintenance of a Prius...
The cost of operation of a Prius is a little less than .11 cents per mile for each 100,000 miles of operation. I don't add in insurance, bank interest, or the cost of the vehicle itself, because all of those can vary based on each owner's situation. Add them to the .11 cents per mile amount.
A Prius will maintain 51-53 average if driven properly.
This means doubling your usual stopping distance and taking your foot off the accelerator at that double distance to shut down the ICE sooner when coming to a stop and then pressing the brake at your normal stopping distance gently to the stop.
Accelerate like there is a egg under the accelerator pedal and you're trying to roll the egg out, not make omelets. In other words, driving defensively and learning to get the most out of the hybrid drivetrain.
As far as the cost to operate a Prius over 100,000 miles:
- There is no steering belt or steering pump, the system is electronic and uses electric motors. There is no belt to wear and no pump to lose fluid out of. No additional parts to replace or maintain.
- There is no timing belt, there is a timing chain that is self-adjusting. No part to replace.
- There is no accelerator cable or cable linkage, once again, it is electronic. So there is no loss of acceleration over time from cable stretch and wear like on a standard vehicle. No additional parts to replace or maintain.
- The brake pads should never need to be replaced, they are hardly used due to the regenerative braking system. No parts to replace or maintain.
- As I said, you never touch the nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery or the hybrid system, it is self-regulating. No parts to replace or maintain.
- The gas engine is not tuned up for 100,000 miles. At even 15,000 miles per year, that's about seven years. And then...
- four spark plugs run $12.00 each, four is $48.00 (the wires aren't replaced and there are no distributors because each cylinder has a direct injection module and they are not replaced)
- coolant is $15.50 a gallon and you need two gallons, or $31.00 (if you live in an extremely hot or cold climate, you might need to change the coolant 2X in 100,000 miles so figure $62.00 there)
- air filters are $18.00 for the engine and $25.00 for the cabin and are replaced every 15,000 miles. So over 100,000 miles, we'll go high and say 7 sets of air filters at $301.00.
- at 100,000 miles, inspect the wiring, change the oil (might as well, since you're there) lube, inspect and flush the brake lines, flush the coolant if necessary. It runs about $225.00, which includes parts.
- the sealed, continuously variable transmission fluid is not changed until 90,000 miles, about $140.00
- The OEM (Original Equipment from the Manufacturer) Goodyear Integrity's are about $113.00 each, installed. The originals are low-rolling resistance, specialty tires, just like a truck or sports car. They will last about 35,000 or so. Three sets of 4 OEM tires- over 105,000 miles- will run $1356.00 installed (3 sets of 4 at $113.00 each = $1356.00).
- Oil and filter changes every 3000 miles and tire rotations every 6000 miles, just like any other vehicle. Oil changes are about $26.00 and tire rotations are about $18.00, or about $884.00 for oil changes and $306.00 for rotations over 100,000 miles
So, over 100,000 miles, for regular service, a Prius should run about $3322.00, rounded to $3400.00, or about .034 cents per mile.
All of my service and parts amounts come from a local Toyota dealership (not the corner cheapy lube), and do not figure in any kind of promotions, coupons, or discounts. I called on 4/11/08.
With gas at $3.75 a gallon, a Prius will run about $7,500 over 100,000 miles, or about .07 cents per mile (100,000 miles / 50 mpg (I get 51.7 mpg currently as an average, city and highway, auto temp w/air and stereo on) = 2000 gallons of gas X $3.75 a gallon = $7,500).
So a Prius will run about $11000 ($3400 + $7500), or about .11 cents per mile, to operate over 100,000 miles.
Any vehicle you are considering should be put to this kind of scrutiny. A vehicle is a major investment and it will cost you money to run properly. Please print this info out and use it to compare any vehicles by calling your local dealership and asking the parts and service departments what is involved in maintenance over 100,000 miles.
So, there are some of the details, but the bottom line is the Prius does not pollute more than a standard vehicle, no matter what it is.
Any more details, let me know or check my other posts here in Answers.|||Let's do some math.

Prius gets 46 miles per gallon combined city/hwy: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/compx2008鈥?/a>
- For the H3 at 15mpg, 150,000 miles = 10,000 gallons of gas.
- For the Prius at 46mpg, 150,000 miles = 3261 gallons of gas.
- Gas cost for Prius would cost less than 1/3 that of the H3.

- H3 has a curb weight of about 5,000 pounds and needs a lot of force to stop, 30,000 miles per set of brake pads. 150,000 miles = 5 sets of brake pads, 2 sets of rotors.

The hybrid battery packs in the Prius have labels on them for whom to contact to recycle them. See the HV Battery Pack Recycling section in the Prius Emergency Response Guides.

How long does the Prius battery last and what is the replacement cost?
The Prius battery (and the battery-power management system) has been designed to maximize battery life. In part this is done by keeping the battery at an optimum charge level - never fully draining it and never fully recharging it. As a result, the Prius battery leads a pretty easy life. We have lab data showing the equivalent of 180,000 miles with no deterioration and expect it to last the life of the vehicle. We also expect battery technology to continue to improve: the second-generation model battery is 15% smaller, 25% lighter, and has 35% more specific power than the first. This is true of price as well. Between the 2003 and 2004 models, service battery costs came down 36% and we expect them to continue to drop so that by the time replacements may be needed it won't be a much of an issue. Since the car went on sale in 2000, Toyota has not replaced a single battery for wear and tear.
Is there a recycling plan in place for nickel-metal hydride batteries?
Toyota has a comprehensive battery recycling program in place and has been recycling nickel-metal hydride batteries since the RAV4 Electric Vehicle was introduced in 1998. Every part of the battery, from the precious metals to the plastic, plates, steel case and the wiring, is recycled. To ensure that batteries come back to Toyota, each battery has a phone number on it to call for recycling information and dealers are paid a $200 "bounty" for each battery.

There are no commercially-available plug-in hybrids on the market so far. (So you cannot plug them in, other than the same gas station pump that most other regular cars use.) The hybrid battery is recharged either through regenerative braking (kinetic energy from coasting/slowing down spins a generator to make potential energy in the battery) or by taking excess power from the gasoline engine (use the gasoline engine as a generator) to recharge the hybrid battery. There is no plug. No charging off the mains/local electric supply.|||You mean Toyota Prius.
Honda's Hybrid cars are Civic and Insight.
The H3 is about the same.
The Toyota Batteries cost around $4000 to replace every 2-7 years depending on how much you drive.
But it gets at least 20mpg better than the Hummer H3.
