I know I've posted this before, but it just nicely sums up the whole topic for me: http://www.hydrogen.energy.gov/docs/...sification.doc...
Well, I guess maybe by driving it only occasionally you're keeping someone else from using it as a daily driver. Thats about the only positive I...
FYI, there were at least 21 SULEVII models in 2007, and at least 31 in 2008. Some of these are sold nationwide, some are only sold in places...
