Hydrogen is stupid as a "stop gap" because the costs for the respective infrastructure would be too high if its kicked out again after like 50 years.

And as far as the 165BHP Diesel engine goes... I'd rather take the BMW 3.0l 240BHP "520Nm @ 3800RPM" 6 cyl engine than any of your big ass engines as it consumes only 7.5l Diesel per 100km (whatever that is in mpg).

My "big ass" 2.2 liter 4 cylinder? lol

That'd be capable of around +/- 30mpg AND producing upwards of 500 ft/lb's/677 nm's@ around 2800rpm if I had the cash to go crazy with the turbo.
