Hydrogen + Gasoline = Good Environment


Ford Motor company has been pushing Hydrogen powered cars the most and have tested the most. However getting Hydrogen at the "gas" station is proving to be difficult. Here we have the perfect solution(especially since FoMoCo owns Mazda).


"Mazda will be leasing a dual-fueled RX-8 Hydrogen Rotary Engine vehicle to Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) this August for use in its daily operations...The RX-8 Hydrogen features a dual-mode fuel system, enabling the driver to switch to gasoline or hydrogen power at the flip of a switch. When engaged in hydrogen mode, the engine produces extremely low levels of carbon dioxide, a primary cause of global warming."


With this new hybrid of Hydrogen and gasoline, it would be easy enough to drive on gas until there was time to drive to a Hydrogen gas pump-which might not always be nearby. I hope that Japan's officials enjoy the Mazda RX-8 and that the news of this hybrid spreads.
