Day 6: Update on Hydrogen Fuel Experiment



In case you cannot make out this shaky picture, that's my tank at 1/5th (20%) of the way down and I've travelled 150.0 miles. The pictures from yesterday never turned out.

One fifth of a 14.5 gallon tank is 2.9 gallons. I'd say 150 miles on 3 gallons puts me at 50 MPG. Let's suppose the gauge is faulty and I've actually used 1/4th. That still puts me at nearly 42 MPG.

Not too bad considering I am supposed to get 27 MPG on average.

Let's say I get 150 miles out of every 1/5th of tank of gas. I should be at 750 miles on a tank of gas (at 50 MPG) vs. 391.5 miles on a tank of gas (at 27 MPG). That is an improvement of 1.9 times - almost double.
