Re: "It would be even cheaper to run everything on hydrogen... so, instead of poisonous carbon monoxide fumes coming out of the exhaust we would have harmless drops of water coming out of the exhaust... " I donno... I'll have to disagree with that one. At least for the next 50 or maybe a hundred years or so I'll bet that natural gas would be a cheaper transportation fuel source then hydrogen would be. (It takes a significant amount of energy to hydrolyze water to cleave off the hydrogen atoms... and --- until and unless we have fusion or possibly fourth generation fission nuclear power sources, or other electrical power production of similar cheapness, and until/unless we have depleted a lot more of the massive North American natural gas resources that we have in-place now --- I expect that nat. gas will still prove to be the cheaper alternative for a long while yet.) Also, in well-tuned engines, I would not expect very much carbon monoxide to be coming out --- certainly nothing on the order of what today's generation of diesel or gasoline engines can produce....
