Interesting indeed, but I'd like to see it confirmed.

3 years later, SAE Energy seems to be gone, and the domain is parked at Go Daddy.

700miles / 1120km on a single H2 tank (no size or pressure given though) and still halving the diesel consumption is HUGE.


You can add LPG or CNG to diesels - as well as H2
LPG/CNG conversions are being done on big trucks over here - though one of the companies doing these conversions claim the gains are way too small to offset cost on my own little diesel.
They claim some 5% improvement on a 30% LPG blend , and some 16% on a 70% CNG blend.
