And if it runs on hydrogen, how about something to produce O2 so we can then put the snorkle into good use

EDIT: Would the Activa suspension work in sea water?

Following some recommendations on the forum I treated the snail to a tankful of V-Power diesel. It was 10p/L more than the standard diesel so I hope it is going to hold it's promise of being more economical.

Bit too early to judge yet but the car does seem to be a bit more lively and idles more smoothly. The idle had become a bit uneven lately and I was preparing to get it looked at but maybe I will be able to avoid that.

I pay 86.9 at the moment for my Bio-Diesel.

A C6 estate! Ive thought of that before, its about time Citroen made a real estate again, the new C5 tourer is no match size wise to the original C5. SO a C6 estate is needed 8)

Diesel is 96.9p a litre here now, petrol is 85.9. It was a bit lower than that a month or so ago.

Loveland, Colorado-based Lightning Hybrids has its sights set on the $10 million automotive x-prize with a sleek biodiesel-fueled vehicle that they claim will break the 100MPG barrier for a production sedan. Once completed, their hydraulic hybrid prototype will boast 240 hp, a carbon fiber chassis, and a 0-60 speed of 5.9 seconds.

100mpg @ 240hp ? Dream on....
