Isn't Hydrogen what the Eco-Geeks want us to fill our cars with in the future?

Isn't gasoline what we have in our cars now?

I think that hydrogen has a much lower flashpoint than gasoline. But the bigger difference in that hydrogen, being a gas, must be stored under pressure in the vehicle. Propane conversion has been available for many years, but we only see it on large vehicles like municipal buses and such, since they have the necessary mass to protect the tack from being crushed in an accident and causing explosive decompression.
