How To Save Money

How Bout an Electric Car?

2008-12-03T10:09:00.000-08:00

An electric car kit is a kit that either turns a normal car into an electric car, or more typically turns it into a hybrid car. The reason why these types of cars are popular is because they are fuel efficient, reduce pollution and reduce gas expenses.

Some people have a misconception about these conversion kits - they believe that they will reduce your car's performance. In fact, they do not effect your car's performance because they only convert energy that would have been wasted into electricity. This is then stored for use later. So, in effect, these cars are recycling waste energy, not draining energy out of the engine.

However, one thing is clear - it can be very expensive to convert a gas powered car into a hybrid electric car, due to all the additional components that must be fitted with an electric car kit. For instance, you would need to install a secondary, electric engine into the car, alongside the gas powered engine.

A better option to the electric car kit is to try a hydrogen conversion kit. This is a modification that converts the waste energy into a chemical fuel, which is then burned together with the gasoline. This works on the same principle of using the waste energy of the car to produce more useful power, but it does not require a secondary engine to use this power. The excess electricity is instead used to separate water into flammable gases, which are immediately injected into the fuel mixture of the car, releasing more energy that the engine can use.

Maybe Buy a Hybrid

Imagine driving from San Francisco to New York, you would travel 2,913 miles. In a non-hybrid car you would purchase approximately 137 gallons of gas which would cost you $411.00 at $3.00 a gallon. If your hybrid averaged 50 miles per gallon, it would only consume 58 gallons at a cost of $174.00; that's $237.00 in savings!

Are you still undecided? Travel to your local car rental dealer and rent one of the many hybrids available. You will be pleasantly surprised with the design, technology, comfortable ride, excellent sound system, and fuel savings the vehicle will provide you. In the end, you will understand why hybrids are fast becoming consumers number one choice in economy vehicles.

Water For Gas Technology

What was once a novel idea and science fiction to many is now fact: You can run your car on water. Actually. A 50/50 mix of gas and water to be more precise. Through a process known as hydrolysis or brown's gas, we now have the technology to mix water with gas and in turn you get ½ of the gas bill you would otherwise, it is cleaner on the environment, and it will actually help your car to run longer over time. If this sounds like a bunch of nonsense then consider the following:

1. The US Army recently purchased a fleet of Hummers with the gas and water technology built in.
2. Thousands are already driving with this technology and have been doing so for years and report nothing but positive results.
3. Major media outlets have run hundreds of reports in which they also reported very positive findings.

Gas Prices on the Rise

Gas prices are on the rise and the Jones's don't know where to turn. Unfortunately employers don't pay more to compensate for the escalating cost of fuel. This leaves families struggling to figure out the means to deal with the extra cost of travel. Less families are going on vacations, visiting relatives and taking unnecessary trips away from home.

More and more people are turning to electric powered cars, but trading in your car to incur the added expense of a new vehicle just isn't viable for many families. In fact, it might not even be the wisest choice. The practical choice would be to simply convert your existing automobile into an electric one. This would give you all of the benefits of owning an electric car, without the hassle of car shopping, giving up a vehicle you love and are used to, and eliminate getting yourself into high payments.

Water For Gas?

How does this technology work? A converter is a device that carries about 1 quart of water. It is connected to your car battery and uses a modest amount of power to generate hydrogen gas, too titled HHO and Brown's Gas. Once the hydrogen gas is burned, the end product is H2O. Accordingly, your engine does not require as much gas and your gas consumption will fell substantially. Your car will not be using much water either. A quart of water can proceed a few months. This is because about 1800 gallons of hydrogen gas can be generated from 1 quart of water. The gas is produced as wanted by the converter, so there is no need for it to be stored. Most people applying converters are experiencing approximately 40% less gas consumption or more, but this can diverge with different vehicles.

5 tps to save gas

1) Remove Excess Weight: Save gas by taking all that useless junk out of your car. 100 pounds can reduce your cars MPG by 2%.

2) Driving Fast: Speeding lowers your cars gas mileage by 33% at highway speeds and 5% around town. Save money on gas by slowing down a little, avoiding jack-rabbit starts and coast to red lights.

3) Gas Cards: You can save on gas prices because many gas cards offer a 10% to 15% discount. If a gallon of gas costs you $2.75, then that gas card could save you as much as 41 cents per gallon! Why not let your money stay in your bank account. Afterall, you should be the one to keep your hard earned money.

4) OD: Use your cars overdrive gear whenever you can. Lowering your rpm’s uses less fuel and will save money on gas.

5) Fast Freeway Driving: The D.O.E. (Department Of Energy) says that each 5 MPH you drive over 60 costs you 25 cents per gallon of gas.

6) Don't Idle: Save on gas prices by avoiding idling whenever possible because idling gets you a whopping ZERO miles per gallon of gas!
