Save Gas and Save Money

Do you realize that you’re driving a very poorly designed car? It has a beautiful finish and some very futuristic looks. But it does poorly on energy. Only 25% of the energy in the gasoline you paid dearly for is actually used for moving forward. 75% is turned into heat (destroys the planet), emissions (unburned fuel), and additionally vibration and carbon deposits that slowly destroys the engine. And plain freaking noise that we just take for granted.

We’ve all heard and seen "hybrids" but on the highway they are nothing but regular, inefficient cars. Their aerodynamics are a little better, but that’s true for many other cars that don’t have the Prius looks. It’s a great step forward though, if you can afford the price, because they make us think of alternative energy in more earthly terms.

One major solution can be converting your existing car to FULL ELECTRIC (not hybrid - you throw away the engine and put an electric motor and a bunch of batteries), for which conversion kits are available from several companies in the "green mile" of California’s Bay Area. The next best thing - but 15 to 60(!) times cheaper - is to convert your existing car to a WATER HYBRID. That is, you leave the engine in there, unmodified or mostly unmodified, and you boost it up with water. Yes, it IS possible! And fairly easy.

So what are some tips to save gas? If you’re looking to save gas, then let me tell you there are a number of ways to do so, just get out there and start looking.
