FYI, Plug Power and Ballard aren't the same company (I've been following
both companies for a couple of years now). Plug Power creates fuel cells for
housing in distributed power systems and remote applications (7 kW). Ballard
creates fuel cells for the automotive industries, portable power, and
centralized power applications (250 kW).
DAK CONTENT: Anyone else notice their mileage decrease just after an oil
change? Mine went from an average of 15.5 to 14.3 for a couple of tanks
immediately after my 3k oil change. o changes Wonder if this changes with
synth.
