See title. An open question to all. What will we be driving in 10 years time? (I'll have added another 20k to my '87 Volvo, but that's another matter).
 
I'm not a market anylist but I remember when diesel was cheaper than gas. It seems like right after the turbo diesle pickup trucks started to really sell is when the price took a major jump, truckers went on strikes and slow downs. Does any one know I heard that there is more road tax on diesel that gas due to the shipping industry using it and a big truck wears out roads alot quicker than a sport-ute....
 
There is a fundamental problem with Hydrogen as a fuel for mass surface transportation. Hydrogen leaks from EVERYTHING. Once the H2 leaks, it goes straight to the stratosphere; gone forever. What happens over time when we lose enough H2 that our planet is as without water as Mars?
