Title: More Efficient Automobiles
Post by: Astronuc on October 14, 2004, 07:44:31 PM
While doing some research, I found this -

Honda Civic - fueled with Natural Gas  (Civic GX)

And you can get a refilling station at your own home!

or the more convential Civic Hybrid - fueled by gasoline

Last year I read an article in Scientific American about a Hydrogen (or air) powered auto being developed in France.  I recall the problem being noise, and they could not find a way to dampen the exhaust.

I wonder what ever happened to this... ???
