    Hybrid Conversion Kits

    No Wayne I don't think they would mate because to be frank they are in cahoots with the likes of Shell etc which means they would lose a huge amount of money if vehicles did over 100 mpg instead of 20-50. This is the bit of kit costs about 370 quid http://www.hydrogenhybrids.uk.com
