	Ford is supposed to have a Hydrogen fuel one coming out any time
now. It's the smallest of the bunch. (Escapade?)

	Unluckily, they're doing a limited run on it. It's only going to
be marketed in 6 cities at first. That way they don't have to train so
many techs on it and so that they can gauge public reaction before going
into full production.

	The city of Portland here has several of the Toyota Prius, lots of
Propane based trucks. And I heard through the grapevine that they're
investigating Bio-diesel.
