So it's not all bad.
Further, the Hummer is way worse than other non-hybrids. Buy the most fuel-efficient gas engine you can--save on gas, and save the world. Hummer's are bad, m'kay. Unless they're the other sort of hummer...

But think of the gas used by the chicken head driving in her daddy's Suburban to come and perform the aforementioned hummer. Booty calls use gas too!
