cool.. but im not sure its more efficient than normal cars in terms of overall pollution - no values are given either!

Cars dont really cause any pollution sufficient enough to cause any problems these days, apart from maybe the diesel ones.
Theyre just a handy thing to blame and to tax us on  :(

Should they arrive in this country, perhaps the day when the Labour Party starts taxing air isn't all that far away.  ;D
