CHEVROLET HAS A FLEET OF 200 HYDROGEN CELL POWERED EQUINOX'S IS SERVICE IN 3 MAJOR CITY'S IN THE USA...THEY APPEAR VERY PROMISING, AND SHOULD BE AVAILABLE IN 2010/11 IF THE INFO THEY GAVE US AT LAST YEARS DEALER MEETINGS STAYS ON TRACK.
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THE CURRENT HYBRIDS IS THAT THE STATS THEY GIVE FOR MPG ARE TOTALLY UNREALISTIC, AS THEY SWITCH FROM GAS TO ELECTRIC POWER AND TOYOTA HAS RECENTLY HAD TO RE LABEL THE MILEAGE ESTIMATES THEIR PRIUS MODELS.
THE CURRENT YEAR MODEL SUBURBANS, TAHOES AVALANCHES AND SILVERADO TRUCKS, AS WELL AS SOME CAR MODELS HAVE AN 8 CYLINDER ENGINE THAT RETARDS TO 4 CYLINDERS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, BUT GOES BACK TO 8 CYLINDERS FOR PASSING ETC.
I GET 22-23 MPG FROM A FULL SIZE CREW CAB TRUCK, WHICH IS A BIG IMPROVEMENT OVER PREVIOUS MODELS: WHEN YOU LIVE (AS WE DO) 32 MILES FROM TOWN, AND HAVE SEVERAL HORSES TO CARE FOR, A TRUCK IS A WORK VEHICLE, NOT A LUXURY ITEM, SO ITS GOOD TO SEE PROGRESS MADE BY ALL THE WORLDS AUTO MAKERS, EVEN THOUGH IS LONG OVERDUE

It's rarely rocket science, it's usually just math: then again if you can't do the math.......
