    A fan of TFL, they let in the occasional Alex on Auto review which in this case is a Mirai. Otherwise, I'd dropped Alex a long time ago as his reviews are too 'rah rah' commercial and have a different target audience than this retired engineer:

    I can not endorse hydrogen fuel cell vehicles because hydrogen economics make no engineering sense from cost to thermodynamics. The result is California subsidizes Shell with $7 million for 8 hydrogen stations, $875,000 per station. Hydrogen costs too much per mile as Alex claims it is as expensive as a 6 cylinder Camry, 25-26 MPG.

    My post is sharing the old joke:
    • 1st prize is a new Mirai
    • 2nd prize is two Mirai
