Shell is preparing to open a station in west Los Angeles later this month that will dispense petrol or, if you're one of the few to have a fuel-cell car, hydrogen.
Hydrogen, not gasoline or diesel, may well power the cars of the future. Hyundai is keeping up with the Jonses with its i-Blue concept car.
