Save gas now : New hybrid cars

Save gas now : New hybrid cars
by Terry Zak
With fuel costs on the rise many people are looking for ways to save money. But many run into questions about what to save money on and how to do it. Do we drive less often? Should we cancel the family vacation? What are the answers? Who should ‘fix’ this fuel-cost increase? The Federal Government? Energy companies (a.k.a. Big Oil)? Automobile manufacturers?The answer is none of the above. As independent adult citizens of the greatest country on Earth, we have the responsibility to fix what isn’t working. If it cannot be fixed then change is in order. We need better options for helping us get from place to place. But what options are there? Take the bus. I live in a part of town where the bus or taxi is not an option. Walk? It’s 21 miles to work for me. I simply can’t walk or even bicycle to work realistically. I know for many Americans there just simply is no way to avoid paying over $4, now pusing $5, per gallon for gasoline and even more for diesel.I’ve been dreaming of a hydrogen car but that is an answer that isn’t available yet. Ethanol isn’t a viable solution and non-hybrid electric cars don’t have long-range capabilities. We need help. And I think I might just have an answer for you.I’ve recently heard a lot about hydrogen gas, more popularly known as Brown’s Gas, being used as a supplement for gasoline engines and in some extreme cases cars that run on only Browns Gas, or HHO.The theory goes like this. Use the electricity from your cars current battery to electrolyze water. This creates HHO gas. Then inject that highly-combustible gas into your engines air intake. This makes for a more fuel rich environment, giving you more power for the same fuel. The long and the short of this idea is that you press down on the accelerator less but get the same results as if you were using more gasoline.This is very simple in theory and doesn’t require a mechanic or even much knowledge of cars.Assemble a water hydrolyzer unit, mount it under the hood, Find the battery, find the air intake and that is about it.But does it work? Time and tests will tell. As for those early adopters who claim it does work they report fuel economy increases of 25% up to 75%, and all for a bearable cost of around $150, on average. I haven’t tried it fully yet, but I am in the process of making my own system. Even at 33 mpg in my Corolla I feel that stinging in my wallet every time I fill up. Over the past few months each fill up has gone from $30 to $45. It sure would be nice to stretch that money just a little farther.While HHO may not me a permanent solution, maybe it can alleviate the problem for a little while. At least until the next best thing comes along.Please visit my website or read my blog linked below. http://boostfuelmpg.com
