Bull****!

These things do not work. If they did every car manufacturer in the world would be putting them on their vehicles and there would be facilities on every street corner installing them on existing vehicles.

We're not that stupid... or at least I'm not.

Hydrogen is fantastic as a fuel. The trouble is - it is always found bound up to other elements, and it takes a lot of energy to separate these elements from each other - far more than would ever be practical for transportation uses. No system you can attach to a fossil-fuel burning internal combustion engine will ever be worth the money you pay for it. Not no way, not no how. But hey....it's your money. Have fun!

[edit: just checked, and I am at 39.3 for average. I assume another 2000 miles and I will pull even better]

I don't believe that. Not possible. Unless, that's kilometers.

We are at about 7500 ele. in Casper, Wyoming, and when we drive around town doing errands and the usual stops at lights, we get about 25 mpg. We only begin to see an increase in mpg after an hour of driving, with consistent mph, it'll creep to about 28 mpg. It was only when we drove several hours from Casper to Laramie, Wyoming, that we saw the mpg reach 34.2.

I really anticipate it getting higher.

On my recent Florida to NY road trip and back, I was averaging 32 mpg using cruise. I drive like an old man.. Cruise control set at the speed limit.. I did have one tankfull where I got 35 mpg. I figure I must have gotten a non ethanol blend of gas. Also 25% of the route was 55 mph through Virgina, Maryland and into Pa. The DIC in my car is off, low, by 2-4 mpg, so I calculate after every fillup.
