christ your not making sense. YES if your buying it at $40 per GGE SURE it does not matter what the mpg is

BUT IF YOUR MAKING IT YOURSELF THE DIFFERENCE IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WORTH DOING AND TOTALLY SILLY TO EVEN TRY.

they have to be in equal proportions to EACH OTHER not from CAR TO CAR.

I can do 14 to 1 with in HUGE VOLUME or TINY VOLUME.

both my metro and a F150 use 14 to 1 but my metro uses FAR FAR less volume. The lower the volume the closer to possibly being practical for me to MAKE MY OWN GAS.

My point is the DATA they give for GGE flies in the face of OBSERVED EVENTS. there is no way they were pumping that much gas into that car on that episode.

I do find it interesting the trucks got similar MPG on hydrogen and gas. so how much would it COST ME in electricity to make say 5mpg worth of that gas and inject it into my car? THAT is the question.

later on I am going to try to muddle through some math and see if I can come up with a kw figure for a 5mpg increase using that government data on those trucks.
