Say goodbye to the Hummer H1. After 2006, General Motors will stop making this big vehicle that people who think they are rough and tough love to drive. The H1 is based on the U.S. military's Humvee vehicle. The problem for the H1 is that it's so big it only gets about 10 miles per gallon of gas. With the price of gas going up, that's expensive. So is the price of an H1 - about $140,000. In 2005, GM sold only 374 H1s, down from 447 in 2004.

5. If the Hummer H1 gets 10 miles per gallon of gas, how many miles can it go on 23 gallons?

6. How many more Hummer H1s did GM sell in 2004 than in 2005?
