I got the information from a Canadian magazine called 'Driven'.
It's a glossy, overpriced, psuedo car magazine. The Mar. 2008
edition on page 69 states a 171 litre fuel tank with a 435 kilometre
range. That works out to 5.97 MPG (U.S.).

171 L = 45.178 U.S. Gal

435 Km = 269.7 miles

Did the mag mess up?

What's a gallon of H2 cost?
