Rising Gas Prices-why

Have you heard of the latest craze to get the best gas mileage from your car or truck, its called “Hypermiling”? To be a hypermiler involves the use of any tip or trick, (and sometimes even a complete change in driving style) to squeeze every last MPG out of your vehicle. And not surprisingly with the ever-increasing gas prices, it’s catching on in a big way. Hpermilers have certainly been the subject of discussion in car and driver forums across the Internet, and they have had a fair amount of publicity in the media. So is this Hypermiling a new idea to get gas mileage improvements, or is it just a re-hash of all the old tricks for saving on gas we have all heard before.

There could be a relatively simple answer to the problem of rising gas prices. Apparently there is a way to supplement gas-powered cars using a fuel known as browns gas. As I understand it browns gas is basically hydrogen and is created by using water and electricity. The reaction for anyone interested is 2H2O + electricity = 2H + 2O. The browns gas is then mixed with the gasoline in your engine to greatly improve efficiency. The electricity apparently can come from the battery of your car. I don't understand all the technical details but it has gotten me very interested and should many others. Apparently any car can be converted to burn both fuels. If everyone had their vehicle converted to be able to burn browns gas along with gasoline the resulting increase in fuel efficiency would mean less demand on oil and the price of oil and gasoline would drop. And since converted vehicles would also burn less gasoline the savings everyone’s fuel costs would plummet. An additional benefit would be cleaner burning cars since browns gas only produces water as a product of combustion. I'm not sure about the costs of actually having cars converted. To me the environmental benefits along with the long-term savings would be worth it even if it were expensive to convert my own car.

First, gas mileage improves. Adding hydrogen to the mix means that less gas is required, and so the gasoline lasts longer. The gains that have been reported generally range from 50% to 100%, with some individuals reporting as much as a 250% increase. The supplemental system is quite inexpensive; therefore it will not cut into your savings. Second, burning regular gasoline produces many pollutants. Burning Brown's gas produces just water and oxygen.

That means that the vehicle's emissions are diluted by the Brown's gas, and overall the car produces fewer pollutants too. The system will keep your engine cleaner by reducing the amount of dirty petroleum products moving through it. Because cars that run on water are environmentally friendly, there may be tax breaks for you at the local, state, or federal level. You can save yourself money while feeling good about what you are doing for the environment by using a water-to-gas conversion system. For a relatively small investment, you will see years of financial returns and a real boost to your environment!
