Looks brilliant, but there has got to be a catch somewhere...

I didn't see how much it cost (probably a fortune!).

correct me if im wrong but havent all buses and many taxis in Iceland been runnign on Hydrogen for years...No cost i could find though. It is definately the future and will only become more available . I would change over now if it was here and available for us. Way better for the Earth.

"HFI's manufacturer guarantees 10 percent fuel savings, which likely won't interest car companies or consumers, Raman said. But a reduction of pollution emissions could spur broader use. "

"The HFI units are relatively small and cost between $4,000 and $14,000, depending on the size of the vehicle. "

You'd have to do a fairly high mileage to justify $4,000 for a 10% increase in economy. I can see why it's getting put on trucks but probably not worth it financially on 4x4's at the moment :cry:

its the same theory as putting LPG in your diesel
it just makes your engine burn the fuel that little bit better.
