try putting a match up to a ballon full of hydrogen vs dropping a match in a pool of gas. One explodes, while the other drowns the match with no fire occuring.

There is less energy in hydrogen than gasoline, it's just a chemical fact. That's why hydrogen powered cars produce such small HP.

less power and less safe... hhmm sounds like a bad idea to me
