How much extra would you be willing to pay for a true zero emission automobile?

As you may know, even fuel cell cars will not be zero emissions because they will require electricity (which will probably be coal fired) to generate the hydrogen fuel. Now suppose you had the option to get hydrogen that was produced solely through solar energy. Assuming you had a fuel cell vehicle, how much extra would you be willing to pay for the zero emission fuel.
(To make it easier, let’s equate it to today’s gasoline prices. Personally I would probably go up to 8 dollars for the equivalent of a gallon of gas without much thought provided it was truly zero emissions. Beyond eight bucks I would have to think twice about it.

How much installed solar capacity is needed to completely power a 100% electric car ?

Assuming the solar panels are not connected to the power grid, and assuming an average number of miles traveled per year (say 12,000), and without discussing battery, motor, range or other issues – but assuming it’s 100% electric (not a hybrid), and assuming plenty of sun location, how many watts of installed solar capacity is needed to power the car (visualize a pratical car like the EV1 – not like the “cars” they have in the World Solar Challenge race) w/o any other power source? Err on the side of a few too many watts rather than not enough.

I am currently considering trading my truck in (4×4 Ford F-150 Supercrew with its 5.4 cly V8 Triton engine) for something smaller and potentially more fuel efficient. Is it REALLY worth trading in the truck for a Ford Ranger 4×4 Manual Transmission? I use it to commute to and from work and light hauling.

how much does your fuel economy drop by driving in Drive as opposed to Overdrive?

I get 13 miles to the gallon (yea, thats bad, but it’s reality), if I were to be an idiot and drive around in Drive as opposed to Overdrive, how many miles to the gallon would I get? I know it depends on HOW you drive but say I’m driving EXACTLY the same in both. The reason I ask is because I hear Drive has more power than Overdrive and I want to play around a little with it, but if it’s a drastic difference in fuel economy I’m not going to bother.
