7.1 Vehicle Fuel Economy
'..Vehicle fuel economy is a primary parameter for these analyses because it has an inversely proportional effect on cost per mile as well as energy use..'
To get relevant comparative WTW energy use, Vehicle Fuel Economy must be correctly comparative. This is where hydrogen peer review repeatably fail because they pretend to to compare like vs like, but they don't.
Like vs like must be calibrated against real like vs like. such as Mercedes B class
consider 3 neighbours in Utopia
1st neighbour drives B Class diesel 3.6 l/100km NEDC
2nd neighbour drive B Class hydrogen 0.97 l/100km NEDC
3rd neighbour drives B class Electric 16.6 kWh/100km NEDC
Using California H2 energy mix, the Hydrogen neighbour uses 2/3 more fossil fuel to travel the same distance as their diesel/electric neighbours.
Hydrogen fuel is a step towards greater fossil fuel dependency
