How it Works - Converting Your Car into a Gas Water Hybrid
With gas prices ranging from $3-4 in the USA and sky rocketing in most countries around the globe everyone is looking for a way to save money at the pump. Better maintenance of our cars is a small measure we can take to to save a few miles on a fill-up. Using nitro-fill to inflate tires is another small measure we can take.

Many people have opted for hybrid car technology such as the Toyota Prius or Honda Civic (hybrid). The draw back being they are expensive for compact cars that skimp on design, comfort and features. Others have gone with internal combustion engines compact cars or otherwise known as fuel sippers. While being cheaper than the hybrid equivalent they are still sized smaller and may be uncomfortable for bigger sized drivers who are use to bigger cars.

How about the holy grail of car energy? We've all heard the stories of scientist who have been able to get cars to accept a fuel source that is in large abundance around us only to be snatched away by the oil companies. Well how nice would it be if you could use water to fill-up your gas tank and save yourself from the $50-80 fill-up each week. I'd agree that would be ideal!

Unfortunately, the scenario of using water to fill-up our car's or truck's gas tank is still a deep buried secret. But their is an application of water in cars that is giving drivers up to 50% better gas mileage in their cars and even their trucks. The idea is called the gas/water hybrid and any car or truck can be modified to experience better gas mileage. The process is called electrolysis.

Now before proceeding on this experiment some people may feel uncomfortable making a modification to their vehicle. I certainly can understand this. It may be worth it for you to visit one of the many car auctions out there to get a guinea pig car to test this out on. You can find cars there for a couple hundred dollars easily. Let's test out your mechanic skill before we do any real damage.

What you'll need to invest in is a water cell fuel kit which gives you all of the parts you need to hookup a system that looks just like a jar full of water under your hood. There are also a few mechanics that I have seen in my area that do this for a fee. Usually around $1000. This route is quite costly and much more than doing it yourself. However if you feel more comfortable with them doing it it's an option for you.

According to people who have used these kits on their cars the feedback is really good. Because you are getting your engine to burn everything you put in the tank most report that the car runs like new. Horse power increases and the vehicle just runs better.

A very big advantage is that when you make this conversion you are now owning a hydrogen car. The IRS gives a hefty tax rebate to owners of hydrogen cars. So for this small adjustment you have made to your car that is giving you better gas mileage Uncle Sam is also rewarding you with less taxes to pay.

Now there is one drawback, and this drawback is probably why automakers do not include this technology in their cars. Every week you will need to change and refill the jar under your hood with distilled water. It's a quick change but you can't forget to do it.

Other than that the rewards are great. I recently saw an online video of a man in a small town who now gets 30-40 miles per gallon in his big truck that use to only get 12-17 miles per gallon. He swears by it and says we all have the power to do something about these gas prices.

If you are interested in getting better gas mileage in your car, truck or sports utility vehicle do your homework and benefit by converting your vehicle into a gas water hybrid.

Absolutely, yes!
I have my concerns.
Probably not.
Definitely would not.
