Howard,

The BMW Hydrogen 7 is an ICE, not a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. You may want to revise your fuzzy math..

Some coments on the BMW hydrogen7 test drive by Jay Leno.

Popular Mechanics article on Bio Fuels in the May 2006 issue.
Popular Mechanics tested 7 cars in a drive from New York to SanFrancisco.
I converted the test results to cents per mile.

Here are the costs of using the various fuels given in cents per mile from
the lowest to the highest.

Electricity, 2.0 cents
Natural Gas, 3.66 cents
Gasoline, 7.09 cents
B100 Biodiesel, 7.10 cents
E85 Ethanol (85% “ethanol ‘grain alcohol’, 15% gasoline.), 14.16 cents
M85 Methanol (85% “methanol ‘wood alcohol’, 15% gasoline.), 20.6 cents
Hydrogen fuel cell, 26.8 cents

Obviously, no one is going to buy a car that costs 26.8 cents per mile when they can get one that only costs 7.09 cents per mile.

See comments about Jeremy Piven (we all love Ari Gold!) being duped by BMW. Did Jay really drink the exhaust from the BMW? The BMW is not a zero emission vehicle like the hydrogen fuel cell (100% electric) Honda FCX Clarity.

Beat-up BMW for getting the braindead Hollywood airheads into this totally senseless car that only makes the hydrogen future look even further away.

THE BMW HYDROGEN 7 IS A TOTAL JOKE!!!

This video (or the presenter shall I say) makes you feel like everything is fine. Soon they’ll be no more emissions when it comes to cars. But if I am not wrong we are far but very far from it. Very very far from it.
