You're right bro. It is gas 
We used to make cars. TVR Sagaris. That is a weapon.

There's a place called Hexham Horseless Carriages I used to visit when I was a kid - it specialised in TVR - I remember getting utterly trapped in one and couldn't find the door release as they're placed in bizarre places within the door - goodness knows why.
Had to wait for staff to let me out LOL

It's a tough one gentlemen - but it think the fuel cell is here to stay ... in hydrogen form i think even though Mercedes have pulled out of research

The nearest is Aberdeen. No irony there. Hyundai right enough. South Korean cars are mega on it right now - it's a takeover bid. Kia. Certainly leading electric and an i20N is alright.
