The Dirty Secret of “Big Oil,” Water for Gas, and Hydrogen Cars
Sometimes it seems as though there is no end in sight, as gas prices continue to rise and neither the government nor the oil companies seem to be doing much to stop these high gas prices from continuing. In order to save a little bit of money each month, there are several different ways of improving your car’s MPG rating that will help you reduce gas costs overall.
When it is warmer outside, gasoline expands. Gas pumps, however, measure the amount of gas being used by how much volume (i.e. liquid) goes through its pumps. Therefore, if you buy gas only when it is cold outside, you are essentially getting more gasoline for the same amount of money since the gasoline will not have expanded in the heat.
When your tires are low on air, you do more than simply risk using a spare tire – you also decrease your overall MPG by up to 25%. Keep your tires filled with air and you can save countless hundreds of dollars in the long run as well as improve the life of your tires and your car.
Keep your drive speed between 30 and 60 MPH – This is the optimum level for cars. Below 30 miles per hour and your car is receiving a lot of strain while not going at a very fast speed. Over 60 MPH and your engine is working much harder than it needs to for not much more speed. Keeping within the standard 30-60 MPH range can be very effective for gas relief.
One final lesser known method of relief from the high gas prices is a way to run your car on water that has been sweeping the nation. From the idea of Hydrogen technology comes HHO gas – an alternative power source designed to use water (standard H20) to improve the MPG of your non-hybrid engine.
Those that have instituted these water car systems have found significant relief from gas prices, often reporting up to triple their car’s previous MPG rating. This results in a great deal of savings, often in the thousands, per year. And the best part about this water car engine is that it can be created by anyone with access to a hardware supply store.
This HHO technology works by providing an electrical charge to tap water that you can get from your sink and turning it into a hydrogen particle that your car uses as fuel. In a way, you are adding an alternative energy source to your car without having to purchase a new automobile, thus making your car significantly more energy efficient and saving you money at the pump.
And if you want to run your car on water, you’ll see that it is 100% safe. Hydrogen powered cars, at least those that were temporarily in production for testing purposes, have often been seen as dangerous because of their combustible material. Not so with these water powered cars. If you are looking for relief from the high gas prices, consider using one of these engine additions to save money on gas.
