Are we at the mercy of the big oil companies and dependency on buying oil from countries that hate the US? Watching gas prices continually rise since the 1970’s I thought that our government would offer incentives and promote alternative fuels and technology, but that has not happened.

In 1978 I worked for a Dodge dealership in Sacramento, California. One of the mechanics I worked with had invented a simple carburetor that turned the fuel into a vapor before it went into the engine, greatly improving the fuel mileage for cars. It only had one moving part inside and it looked like a small aluminum coffee can.

This device was tested on an airplane, race cars, and multiple street driven vehicles. The one I saw was a 1977 Dodge Aspen station wagon with a large 6 cylinder engine. It was getting over 50 miles per gallon!

I was very excited about this technology but it never went anywhere. Why? The government wouldn’t even allow it to be officially tested and blocked all attempts to promote it. The reason given was they claimed it was a “explosion hazard” by vaporizing the fuel. But isn’t that how Propane and Natural Gas are used on converted gasoline engines? I would agree that gasoline has a higher flash point but there were no instances of fire or explosion in all of the engines using this technology.

This kind of technology could be used along with Natural Gas, and electric vehicles to help limit our dependency on foreign oil until we advance the technology to gradually move away from carbon based fuels completely.

According to T. Boone Pickins, Iran is converting their cars to natural gas as fast as they can. They are NOT doing it to help the world use less oil, but so they can sell more oil to other countries at over $100 per barrel!

It looks like the US government is not very interested in alternative fuels and technology. Could the oil industry lobbyists be influencing our leaders? How much campaign money is given to candidates and what do they want in return? I honestly believe change is going to come at the “grass roots” level of inventors and scientists.

That’s my opinion, and I could be wrong…..

Top 10 Ways To Waste Gas

Top 10 Ways To Waste Gas
By Mac Demere, Contributor

There are only two ways to get significantly better gas mileage with your current vehicle: Drive less and slow way down, neither of which you’ll likely do until gas gets to about $8 a gallon. However, there are many easy ways to get worse mileage. You’re probably already practicing many of them, perhaps not realizing you’re stomping your carbon footprint by wasting fuel and polluting the environment.

With tongue firmly in cheek, here are our top 10 favorite ways to waste gas and money while stomping our carbon footprint.

  1. Stand on the gas! There’s little a carbon stomper enjoys more than blasting along at 90 mph — other than doing it in a Suburban while towing a big trailer. You can get about 5 mpg if you try. On the highways I travel, there’s no shortage of huge SUVs and other vehicles travelling at or near that speed. My personal observation is that the average speed on the German autobahn is no faster than that on Interstate 40 in Tennessee or Interstate 85 in Georgia. The government says most cars get their best fuel mileage between about 40 and 60 mph. For a big SUV or pickup truck, those numbers drop 10 mph or more. Because air drag (wind resistance) increases with the square of speed, going a little bit faster really increases the impact of that carbon stomp. Learn more about the effect that speed has on fuel economy by reading "We Test the Tips."
  2. Use E85 ethanol. Ethanol significantly drops fuel mileage because alcohol contains less energy than gasoline. The EPA says you’ll get about 7 mpg less with E85 (85 percent ethanol, 15 percent gasoline) than with 100 percent gas. In our own tests comparing E85 and gasoline, we observed similar gas-mileage differences. But that’s not all. To grow corn to make ethanol, American farmers are plowing up native prairie grass that is the primary breeding ground for waterfowl. Simultaneously, Brazilians are burning down virgin rainforests to grow sugarcane for ethanol and soybeans for biodiesel. Also, some studies say it requires more fossil fuel energy to make ethanol than the alcohol contains. In addition, ethanol must be transported by truck or railroad rather than the traditional gasoline pipeline system. Oh, and it makes your food more expensive. Stomp!
  3. Idle. A car gets zero miles per gallon while it sits motionless with the engine running. You can make a Corolla get the same gas mileage as an 18-wheeler by sitting in the car with the air-conditioner running while waiting in an elementary-school pickup line. A main way hybrid-electric cars reduce fuel consumption is by switching off their engines while stopped in traffic. For modern, fuel-injected vehicles, the break-even point for turning off the engine and then restarting it right before traffic begins to flow may be as little as 10 seconds, even when considering extra wear on the starter motor, battery and other components. Expect honks and rude gestures from drivers behind you.
  4. Enter the stoplight drags. Establish your dominance by being the first to the next stoplight. It’s a race: Don’t let the rats win. By accelerating hard, you’re burning much more gas than you would by gently gaining speed. And you get to waste even more while idling at the next stoplight until the slow-accelerating driver arrives. Often, the light turns green right as the slowpoke arrives. Then you really have to gas it to beat him to the next light. Get the facts on the effect that aggressive driving has on fuel economy by checking out "We Test the Tips Part II."
  5. Cruise. Driving around aimlessly is such a relaxing and enjoyable way to waste gas. Harley riders, snowmobilers and teenagers have this down to a science. Some cities still boast 1950s American Graffiti-style cruising where people circulate in an intentional traffic jam around a city square — doesn’t that sound fun? Gas hogs love traffic jams and lots of idling.
  6. Choose max-performance tires. There’s little like the thrill of blasting around a freeway transition ramp on super-grippy max-performance tires. However, sticky tires take more energy to move down the road than do most original equipment tires. Tire engineers call it rolling resistance, and ultra-high-performance tires almost always have a lot of it.
  7. Never use cruise control. A great way to burn extra fuel when driving down the interstate is to accelerate until you pull far past another car. Then slow down until that car passes you and gets a half-mile lead. Next, gas it until you’re a quarter-mile in the lead. Repeat. Not only does this drop gas mileage, it’ll make you one of the world’s most aggravating people. There’s more than one way to heat up the planet.
  8. Use regular gas when your car calls for premium. The Lexus College says using 87-octane fuel in its vehicles that require 91 octane will reduce fuel mileage by about 6 mpg. This is partially because the lower-octane fuel requires the engine to work harder to achieve the same performance. It’s unclear whether this is true for all makes. Try it for yourself to find out which gets worse mileage.
  9. Keep your trips short. Engines don’t operate at maximum efficiency until warmed up. So you’ll burn more fuel if you drive two or three miles and then stop and let the car cool down before making another short trip. To make sure you burn the most gas, never drive first to your furthest destination and make your other stops on the way home. Best of all, drive all the way home after each errand and never even think about walking or riding a bike.
  10. Ignore maintenance. A clogged air filter does a wonderful job of wasting fuel, but it’s nothing compared to a malfunctioning oxygen sensor. If the "check engine" light illuminates, a small piece of black tape will allow you to keep wasting gas without the annoying nagging. Out-of-spec suspension alignment will burn more fuel, as will adding heavier-weight oil like 10W-40 rather than the automaker-recommended 0W-20. Finally, make sure your tires are underinflated — this will not only burn excess amounts of oh-so-plentiful gasoline, it’ll also prematurely wear out your tires and create deadly driving situations!

Here are some other things you can do to waste gas: Install a wing, roof rack, running boards, fender flares or brush guards. Be sure to keep that ski rack on all summer.

If your children or grandchildren are unappreciative jerks, carbon stomping is more entertaining than slot machines when you’re trying to blow the inheritance they were just going to waste anyway on future global-warming-induced beach vacations in Greenland.

Half water half gas review: Must read before you buy the product

This article will provide a brief review of half water half gas product.  For a full Half water half gas review follow the link.

Moving on, once you enter the site it is as usual a long sales pitch so here is the brief on it and the truth behind it.  The website claims that they can improve your fuel efficiency by 60% using only a quart of water every few months.

 Problem, you buy the manual and are required to set up this conversion your self.  This is really intimidating especially if you have no clue what is going on underneath the hood of your car and if the car breaks down and the gas tank does not say “E” you are pretty much screwed.

 Solution, I was really impressed with the technical manuals that you receive with this product.  With half water half gas you don’t only learn how to install this product but you learn what actually is happening underneath the hood of your car so that next time you take your car to the mechanic you actually have a clue what he is talking about.  This product is excellent for all knowledge levels regarding the operation of a car, it won’t make you a mechanic but it will give you a leg up. 

 Assembly, overall it cost less the $100 to assemble the entire system and it took approximately 4 hours.  I did need to call a friend to help me but it turned out to be a fun day drinking beer and hanging out in the sun.

 ***Important note: before you install the product fill your gas tank to the rim, reset the odometer and drive the car until empty, make note of distance you traveled on that tank.  After you have installed your system fill the tank again and follow the same steps.  Depending on how well you have assembled your system you will see an improvement.  At first I only got about 20% increase (which is still a huge difference if you ask me) and After some tweaking this was improved on greatly.***

 If you are serious about converting your own car to run on water then I highly recommend you read the half water half gas review in detail.  It is comprehensive, informative, easy to install and you will see the saving in your bank account.

Green Smart - Eco-Conscious Product Choices

It seems that in the most recent years there are many people that are concentrating on finding many green smart eco-conscious product choices in order to make the environment better.  Many different companies have changed their entire image and have gone greener just to attract more people to buy their products.  Reusable items, renewable resources and refurbished products are all becoming increasingly popular now a day. 

 

One of the greatest things about green smart eco-conscious product choices is the fact that you can make a difference; you are in control over what you purchase and what you do in your life.  With the way that many companies are becoming greener, it makes it that much easier for you to switch your lifestyle around and make greener choices in your own life.  You can make green smart eco-conscious product choices in pretty much every aspect of your life, as everything from what you wear all the way down to what you eat can be a little bit greener. 

 

Some of the most green smart eco-conscious product choices on the market right now are hybrid cars.  Many consumers with the rising costs of gas prices are buying hybrid cars to cut down on gas costs.  What they probably do not realize that it is not only saving them some cash in the entire, but buying a greener car is saving the environment – think about it, if every single person brought themselves a hybrid car then we would have absolutely no reason to pump gas.  One of the only problems with purchasing a green smart eco-conscious product choice such as a car is that you will not be able to take a long trip – for this type of car takes about sixteen or more hours to recharge itself.

 

Cars are not the only green smart eco-conscious product choices that people are making in this day and age, make up, disposable utensils, sheets, flooring and furniture are just some of the eco-conscious product choices that people are making.  When you think about it, it is not just the companies that are making a conscious effort to go greener it is the people, for they understand that if we do not take care of this environment then it will not save itself – that is the reasons so many people are making all these eco-conscious product choices.  While it may cost a little bit more to go greener, it is definitely worth it in the end.
