Author: 5 Major Advantages Of Running Your Car On Water
Soaring oil prices have made all of us think about alternatives to gasoline. Unfortunately till date the majority of vehicles run on either gas or diesel both of which are now touching never before highs. With even the G8 leaders agreeing that developing new technology is the only way of dealing with the world oil crisis the common man is forced to think of options to make both ends meet. But the good news is that commoners like us have already developed technologies that bring down fuel consumption to extremely affordable limits.
And no we are not talking of high priced gaselectric hybrids offered by leading car manufacturers but a small doityourself kit that lets you run your car on water. The hybrid technology that uses an electrolyzer for converting water into HHO or hydroxy gas where the hydrogen part is used to power the engine has been around for the past five years. Constantly rising oil prices have put these machines into the limelight as a serious alternative to other high priced or energy deficient hybrid cars. So before you think of looking at other hybrid technologies have a look at some of the major advantages of running cars on water:
- You Save On Fuel Consumption: When you use hybrid technology that combines water and gasoline to run your car you end up reducing your consumption of gasoline by at least 25 to 40. This directly translates into major savings on your annual gasoline bills and you no longer have to keep monitoring the odometer every time you take your car out.
- You Get To Utilize The Cheapest Hybrid Technology Available: Many gaselectric hybrid models from major car manufacturers like Honda and Toyota might give you the same MPG as a watergas hybrid. But while regular hybrids cost almost 25 to 40 more than regular gas models of the same cars a gaswater hybrid kit costs even less than 200.
- Your Cars Performance Gets Better: Hydrogen is a much more efficient fuel than gasoline so while gasoline leaves carbon residues and other similar rubbish in your engine that bring down both the longevity and performance of your vehicle running your car on hydrogen ensures that there is no residue to diminish the performance of your cars engine.
- You Save On Tax: Government at both the federal and state levels provide tax rebates to people using hybrids with low emission levels. Since your water run hybrid qualifies you for this you can easily save hundreds of tax dollars every year. Apart from this your state government might also give you special favors like providing you with free parking or the use of the carpool lane.
- You Get To Do Your Own Bit For The Environment: When you run your car on water you not only save on fuel consumption your car produces lesser noise and air pollution than other normal vehicles letting you drive around guiltlessly.

3 Ways To Save On Your Fuel Bill
Sick of rising fuel costs. Here are three great ideas to cut those costs.
Fuel prices suck!With prices spiking over 1.70/litre it’s getting out of control. Well like YOU we’ve had enough. We researched three simple measures you can take to help reduce your fuel bill…
1. Use the internet to find Cheap Fuel
A handy web tool for locating cheap fuel is motormouth.com.au; a simple to use free website dedicated to finding cheap fuel in your area.

MotorMouth currently reports fuel prices in Brisbane Sunshine Coast Gold Coast Sydney Melbourne Hobart Adelaide and Perth only.
The search function is very simple to use and the tests I performed found some marked price variations which helped me in reducing my weekly fuel bill.
Similar sites for the US and Canada is gasbuddy.com and gaspricewatch.com.
2. Car share
There are a growing number of car share services popping up particularly in city areas. These services enable you to book a car inexpensively for a few hours at a time. The costs of maintenance and insurance are covered in the fees you pay and if you don’t use your car a lot you can save a lot of money. Some services also include the cost of fuel in the booking fee further reducing your costs.
Here are some great sites we checked out for you:

Thecarpool: This free site puts people in contact with others who want to save money by sharing their travelling costs
3. Use Alternative Fuels
Is it possible to run your car on water? Absolutely only you need to extract the energy out of water to make it work and you do that with a home built hydrogen gas generator.
Water has a lot of energy in it and your goal is to extract that energy without spending more on electricity than what you can get out of the thing. By simple electrolysis you can separate the water molecules into their core elements of hydrogen and oxygen and create a burnable gas known as HHO or Brown’s gas.
I decided to test out this theory and bought the Water4Gas system. Using these very simple instructions I built a hydrogen generator and installed it in my Ford.
The technology is safe and reliable and I did not have to modify my car’s engine or computer in any way. The hydrogen generator installs quickly and should you want to remove it you can do so with no evidence of it ever having been there.
I have been running this system for over 3 months now and I am getting 3540 increases in fuel mileage and I have had no engine problems what so ever.
This is well worth looking into if YOU want to stick it to the Gas Companies and save some of your well earned cash.
Fuelstar combustion catalysts have been used with great success since 1992 in over 30 counties.
A combustion catalyst improves combustion giving a more complete fuel burn. This leads to improved engine efficiency resulting in better fuel economy reduced emissions improved engine performance and cleaner internal engine operating surfaces.
This is a great option if you dont want to play around making hydrogen generators. The system comes complete and is as easy to install as a fuel filter.
Many reports indicate a fuel savings of 12 to 18 however I have not tested this one out as yet.
So the fuel price surge doesn’t look like it will be lettingup anytime soon and for most of us there’s little we can do to avoid paying astronomical prices. However hopefully these tips will assist in easing the price rises and with any luck also help cut the cost of your next journey…

When You Will Need Auto Body Repair
When You Will Need Auto Body Repair
Auto repair can be a costly fix when times are tight. But there is damage to your car that could be just cosmetic. If you have been in an accident and your car has been damaged you will want to have the damage checked out but if it is only superficial you have a choice as to whether you want to get it fixed right away later down the road or at all.
The first step after an accident that damages your car is make sure the insurance company and the police know about it. These steps usually happen within hours of the accident so that everyone who needs to know about it is properly informed. Next you will want to get the car checked out to see how bad the damage is. This is not getting it fixed necessarily so if you are using someone other than who the insurance company wants you to you should be fine.
So what constitutes damage severe enough to use an auto body repair shop? Most of the time the repairs that will need to be made are ones that will affect your driving. If you just have a few dents and scratches on your car these repairs can obviously wait. But if you cannot operate the car properly or the damage will inhibit the drivers around you it is time to go to the auto repair shop.
If you want to take your car to the auto repair shop as soon as you have had your accident you will want to make sure to contact your insurance company to see if they have specific auto repair shops that they want you to go to. Otherwise it is up to you to find the right auto repair shop to fix your car.
It is very important to follow the guidelines of your insurance policy. If you decide that you want to use a mechanic or auto repair shop that is not approved by your insurance company you will have to be prepared to pay much of the cost out of pocket. This usually isn’t what most people want because the cost of the deductible is usually hard enough to come up with.
Once you have picked your auto repair shop you will want to check it out for the quality of the work and the fairness of the prices. Ask a friend or family member who have used this particular shop before. If it is recommended by your insurance you know that the quality of the work should be top rate. But if you have chosen this auto repair shop on your own you will want to check out what the place looks like get an estimate on the damage and talk to the manager of the shop before you commit to one auto repair shop. This will save you a lot of money and time in the end when you send in your car to get fixed.
