Alternative for gas which can improve fuel efficiency
Hybrid cars are known to have a better fuel economy and produce less harmful emissions. Not all hybrid cars work under the same principle, but most of the share a common one.Most hybrid cars use two power sources in order to move the vehicle: Electricity and gas. Because the car is run partially on electric energy, the gas consumption is fairly low.
A hybrid car might be one solution for saving money on gas. However.. who has 30 000$ to buy a hybrid?
Hybrids are expensive, thus they are not the solution for the average citizen.
Fortunately, there is a better solution for improving fuel economy. This can be done by installing a water fuel cell to the car. It can be done to all vehicles which run on gas. The car will partially be run on water, thus the fuel economy will be drastically increased.
I understand how someone might find it difficult to grasp the idea that a car can run on water. But this is very possible. Thousands of people have already converted their car to run on water.
It is a very cheap one-time investment, and it's simple to do, meaning anyone can apply this to their car just by following the instructions.
The video below presents a good example of a car which runs on water.

Gas Saving Tips That You Never Knew About
Tips for saving gas that you probably never knew about
1. Make sure that the fuel cap on your vehicle is placed correctly. A large amount of gas might be lost because of evaporation. This is especially a problem with older cars, the older vehicles usually have a higher evaporation rate while the newer ones have system which regulates and prevents evaporation to some extent.2. When parking your car, try to choose a place where the temperature is cool. For example, if the weather is hot, look for a spot under the shade, this will minimize the amount of fuel that will evaporate.
3. Do not overfill your gas tank. When a gas tank is topped off, part of the gas might spill out of the gasoline tank as it warms up. Most physical matters tend to expand in heat, and shrink in cold. It's a basic rule of physics
4. When parking your your car, try to park it in a way that you will be able to get out of the parking spot in forward gear, try to avoid maneuvering in reverse gear in order to save gas.
5. Purchase gas during the cooler times of day. Early mornings and the late evenings are good periods for purchasing gasoline. In the time of the day when the temperature is cooler the gasoline is denser. Gas tends to shrinks when the temperature is cold and expands when the temperature is hot. Since gas pumps measure the volume of gasoline and not the density, you pay for the volume of fuel that is inserted to your vehicle, this basically means that you buy more gas for the same amount of money when fueling up your car in colder weather than in warmer weather.
6. Try to avoid driving on uneven surfaces and bad types of road. Driving on these kinds of road can significantly increase fuel consumption. Try to choose tarmac road over dirt roads when possible.
7. Install a water fuel cell in your car. This is maybe the best way to get a better fuel economy. By installing a water fuel cell, your engine partially runs on water which significantly reduces the gas consumption. Adding a water fuel cell is a fairly simple process and can be done using a 'do it yourself' kit. Do find out how to do this visit www.caronwater.org
Below is a video of a Ford Escort wagon which has applied this method, with the added fuel cell it gets an incredible gas mileage of 60 MPG, The gas mileage of the vehicle before the addition of the water fuel cell has been about 40 MPG, so we're looking at about 50% improvement in gas mileage!

5 Most Important gas savers tips
The 5 crucial gas savers that you must know
1. Remove unnecessary items from your carCheck your trunk for unnecessary items and remove them, look for heavy items that just take up space and have no practical use and remove them from your car. This will remove weight from your car, and the lighter car your car is, the better the fuel economy is. This is one of the more important gas savers if you have the habit to carry a lot of items in your car.
2. Check your tire pressure
One very important tip is to make sure that your car has the optimal tire pressure. The tire pressure can be usually found in the owners manual of the car. Check tire pressure once every two weeks.
3. Don't accelerate too fast
One of the crucial gas savers tip is to not drive like you're on a race track. Drive responsibly and only lightly use the throttle. Keep your car running at low rpms lower rpms usually means less fuel consumption, which is a fuel savers tip which should be applied as often as possible. What you're aiming for is driving in high gear with low rpms, not in lower gears with high rpms. However, don't drive with the rpms too low, because it is taxing on the engine. Keep the revs as low as possible while the engine is running smoothly, if you feel that the engine is struggling, then lower the gear.
4. Limit the use of A/C when driving at low speeds
When you're not on the highway, and your car is running at lower speeds, one of the often neglected gas savers is to turn off the A/C . The A/C increases the fuel consumption thus decreasing the fuel economy. Open the window of your car to cool down instead of using the A/C. However, when you're going at high speeds, the optimal tip for your car would be to use the A/C instead of opening your window. Opening your windows at high speed increases the drag, which decreases the fuel economy.
5. Add a an extra water fuel cell in your car
This is the ultimate gas savers tip which can drastically increase the fuel economy of your vehicle. There is a new technology which allows you to run your car on water. The engine will use water as well as gas, as a source for powering the engine, you will get a much better mileage. This is the recommended gas savers tip because the guides for converting your car to run on water cost less than 50$ and can save you a lot of money. This method is proven, and was kept secret by the oil companies for many years, however luckily, the conversion kits are out on the open and many people have already applied the water fuel cell to their cars.

The Truth About Hydrogen Gas Saver Devices
Hydrogen gas saver devices, are they a scam, or are they really worth it?
A hydrogen gas saver is a device that uses the electric energy from the vehicle in order to conduct a process of electrolysis on the water, the outcome from the electrolysis process is hydrogen and oxygen gases that are used to propel the vehicle.The hydrogen and oxygen supplement the gas in the vehicle, thus the vehicle is powered by gas on one side, and by hydrogen and oxygen on the other side. By powering the engine of the vehicle partially with hydrogen and oxygen the gas consumption is significantly decreased, which results in a better fuel mileage. Hydrogen gas saver devices have a lot of potential, and their popularity is rising just as the gas prices are rising.
Is a hydrogen gas saver device worth it? In most cases it can be said that they're worth it.You need to make a significant investment in order to obtain and install the device. By installing the device you will attain a better fuel mileage and save money on gas in the long run, which means that after a certain period of time, you will return the investment that you made on hydrogen gas saver. That's why these kinds of devices are worth it.
There are various types hydrogen gas saver devices. Hydrogen generator kits are fairly effective for increasing fuel economy and getting more mpg.
However these hydrogen gas saver devices cost from 800$ up to 10.000$ depending on the brand and type of device. This is a big investment and not everyone is able to afford to buy a costly hydrogen generator kit. If you're looking to buy a hydrogen gas saver device I wouldn't recommend buying a Hydrogen Generator kit because of the high price.
Fortunately there is a cheaper solution. There are several good Hydrogen gas saver 'Do it yourself' kits which cost from 45$ up to 100$ and provide step by step instructions on what needs to be done in order for the water to be transformed to hydrogen and oxygen, and injected into the manifold of the intake.
The kits are fairly simple and anyone, even people without mechanical knowledge can follow them and apply their methods, which would save money eventually get them a better mileage and saving them money on gas, while decreasing emissions at the same time. These kits can be applied to any car or truck. To find out more about these Hydrogen gas saver 'Do It yourself' kits visit the Run Your Car On Water site

- Imposible obtener energía de la nada
todo es un intercambio
para obtener energía tenes que entregar un trabajo
para separa el hidrógeno del oxigeno necesitas mas energía de la que producen estos al recombinarse.
