BMW’s Hydrogen 7-Series Cleans The Air, Literally!
It would be a dream if the future of our cars used water for power and actually cleaned the air as you drove it. No more high gas prices, no more pollutants, what a dream right? Well, this dream is not too far off because BMW already has a car that does exactly this.
Many people have heard about the BMW 7-Series Hydrogen powered car. Well, BMW is further developing this vehicle in preparation to actually sell it one day. They recently tested the output of emissions and could not get an actual reading thus stating that it cleans the air. Basically, the cars engine breaks down and converts carbon monoxide which in return cleans the air as you drive it.

Pros:
1. Gas is expensive and you will need less of it. It is always a plus when you do not have to empty out your wallet while stopping by your nearest yellow, green, or bright red pit stop. This is the main reason why the new Hybrid cars, trucks, and SUV’s get a second look despite the high initial sticker price.
2. Hybrids generally have better fuel economy. We all know for a fact that new hybrid vehicles will use a lot less gas than your current $80 to-fill-me-up family hauler or the ever so hungry daily commuter rice-n-gas burner or if you’re lucky the “only I can drive it” sports car in the garage that is only driven on the weekends. Hybrids use and take advantage of advance technology to only consume a small percentage of gasoline when compared to any normal fuel burning vehicle currently on the road.

| Equivalent Gasoline Savings: | $0.11-$0.73/gallon |

Gas mileage decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph. Each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.15 per gallon for gas. Observing the speed limit is also safer.
