In a few weeks, I will be taking delivery of a Chevrolet 2500 3/4 ton 4X4 with a custom made crew cab, fully loaded with EVERYTHING, except a sun roof, which they aren't permitted by law to put in,
so you are still missing what "I" am saying.

I am talking about fleet vehicles, the one's that drive 200 plus miles per day, and are left idling everywhere as delivery personnel conduct their business. Those same vehicles are all brought behind a fence at nite, and refueled.

Other than the Jag and the Harley, there is also an old Pontiac for pulling the watercraft, which incidentally is also not an environmentally friendly pursuit either.

I am not able to answer your question as posed because I won't be a practicing convert for quite some time, but if you don't mind, I offer these answers to your multiple choices to the floor.

Sincerely,

a) has a tank of hydrogen on board?
could rupture and burn/explode in accident.

b) has nanotubes of hydrogen on board?
completely safe in accident. Doesn't exist.

c) uses hydrogen reformed from methanol?
methanol is nasty to handle. Could rupture and burn in accident.

d) uses natural gas?
could rupture and burn/explode.

e) uses gasoline?
could rupture and burn/explode. Very nasty because it pools.
