I like going to tail of the dragon and I stay at a resort when I go. I didn't see a power outlet that I could plug the car up to so it might not be the best idea. Infrastructure is the roadblock when it comes to any alternative means of transport. If you only use the car for city driving and never go on trips in it then it is a feasible option. The problem with Hydrogen cars and electric vehicles is the range and lack of "refueling" stations or power outlets.

MPG's are for motorcycles. I have a family member who works for American Honda, and they are waiting for the first Insights to come back to the dealerships for batteries. Anyone have a extra $5000-$8000 laying around?

I need to get a pic of my buddie James' licence plate frame he had made for the back of his car, it says "There is more to life than good gas milage" I couldn't think of a better way to say it myself. I'm stealing his idea and running that frame on the back of my car to **** off all the liberal pussies who cry about better gas milage and driving to fast.
