$3 per kg of H
Takes about 2kg to equal the energy in a gallon of gasoline.
So $6 per gallon at cost, not counting taxes, over head, profit.
So it could really end up costing upwards of $10 to replace a gallon of gasoline. And that's a deal compared to buying bottled hydrogen at $50 per kg for a local welding shop.
Natural gas steam reforming is the cheapest way to produce hydrogen.

VW hasn't made an easy to maintain car since they went liquid cooled.

A comment like "death to the Koch bros" would be encouraged, but a comment like "maybe consumer choice has something to do with the popularity of fossil fuel consumption, and it isn't entirely a Big Oil conspiracy" will be removed.
That means they have to shut down discussion because they have no valid logical points to argue and thus becomes a lightning rod for extremists.

Kind of like the myNissanleaf Web site. It sickens some of them to think that some one might own and occasionally drive a diesel truck or god forbid burn wood is among them.
