I guess where we really need to head is along the idea of fuel cells
instead
of attempting to continually graft new energy sourcing ideas onto existing
technology, despite it being 'tried-and-proven'.
Toyota, etc. have hybrid cars but they're not really in the same sphere of
research. I wonder if Saab's technical people in Sweden are doing any
research into using fuel cells?

What is E85? Is that fuel with 15 percent ethanol?
