Hydrogen Gas Savers - Hydrogen Gas Saver Parts Used To Increase Gas Mileage

Do you want to know what parts you need for a hydrogen gas saver? Here are some typical gas saving parts that will be needed...


Electrolyzer (some call it "Hydrogen Generator"): Some are contained in little non-breakable jars.
MAP Sensor Enhancer: this electronic device reduces fuel consumption without modifying the engine or the computer - an absolute must have for great fuel economy.
Vaporizer: ads water vapor to the engine to cool it down, improves combustion and fuel economy. Also serves as part of the "charged water system" .
Fuel Heater: pre-heats your gasoline for better gas economy, using only energy from the radiator that gets wasted otherwise. Absolutely NO modifications done to the radiator or its hoses.
PCV Enhancer: another great companion to your hydrogen system that improves the PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) function, protects your engine and saves gas.
Fuse holder + wiring. Connect to the 12 volts.
Vacuum T-connector: helps you splice the vacuum line for feeding the hydrogen and oxygen into the engine.
Two vacuum hoses, 3.5 feet each. One connects to the intake manifold, the other to the air filter.
Mechanical installation hardware: Bungee cords, 8" cable straps (for Electrolyzer), 11" cable straps (for Fuel Heater), flex tubing (to protect the wiring harness), and 1/4" vinyl tubing.
Catalyst: household Baking Soda - totally safe catalyst! Catalyst is the substance that helps the electricity separate water into HHO. Distilled water alone does not conduct electricity so nothing would happen without this material. Can be obtained cheaply at your grocery store.
It might sound complicated but it really isn't. To learn more about how hydrogen gas savers work, visit http://www.provennaturalcures.com/hydrogengassaver.html

5 Easy Steps to Better Gas Mileage

At the time this article was written the national average price for a gallon of gas was $2.61. Prices don't seem to be coming down and the days of $1.00 per gallon gas are a thing of the past. However, with little effort there are some steps you can take to increase your gas mileage and save some serious money in the process.

1. Sensible driving- Speeding, rapid acceleration and braking waste gas. By curbing your aggressive driving tendencies you can increase your gas mileage by as much as 33% on the highway (5% around town). At $2.61 per gallon, that could result in a savings of up to $0.86 per gallon.

2. Empty your trunk- It's amazing how much stuff we accumulate in our trunk over time. All that stuff results in excess weight that reduces your gas mileage. An extra 100 lbs in your car can reduce gas mileage by up to 2%. The smaller the vehicle, the bigger the loss in mileage. If you remove 100 lbs of weight from your vehicle, you would save $0.03-$0.05 per gallon.

3. Observe the speed limit- I know it's hard to cruise along at 60 when everybody else is passing you but it's estimated that for each 5 mph you drive above 60 mph you're paying an extra $0.24 per gallon for gas.

4. Use the Cruise- Cruise control helps you maintain a constant speed and has a more gradual acceleration

pattern as opposed to using your foot.

5. Keep tires properly inflated- You can boost your mileage by about 3% by keeping your tires inflated to the proper pressure. In most cases there is a sticker in the driver's side door jamb that will have the proper pressure for your tires. A 3% increase in mpg translates to about $0.06 per gallon.

Following these five easy steps will result in better gas mileage.

Cars With the Best Gas Mileage

When buying a car either brand new or used, one thing you should take into consideration is its ability to give you the best gas mileage without compromising the comfort, speed and your love for the cars.

Some people when it comes to this problem, they will either cut the use of their fuel consumption or buy a smaller car because there is this notion that smaller cars have best gas mileage.

Well, this could be either true or not, and when you're facing this kind of situation, the only best thing you can do is buy a car that has second to none gas mileage.

In this category - cars with best gas mileage - it is predominantly dominated by Toyota Prius wth more than a million units sold recently primarily because for its obvious reason - that is being the number one most fuel-efficient car on the road.

Not only is the Toyota Prius the top-selling hybrid vehicle, but it is also the number one most fuel-efficient vehicle on the highway with impressive performance of 48 mpg (miles per gallon).

Smart Fortwo convertible and coupe is also showing some promise when it comes to gas mileage with 33 mpg in the city road while on the highway it gets 41mpg, and this is getting popular considering the fact that this brand of car is just new in the United States market.

The two-seater Mazda MX-5 Miata, for its 22 mpg in the city road and 27 on the thoroughfare deserve the title of one of the best cars with best gas mileage. While the Mini Cooper took the next spot being so efficient with its 28 mpg in the metropolis while on the highway it recorded a 37 mpg.

When it comes to subcompact car, one of the most efficient with both the automatic and manual versions is the Toyota' Yaris with 36 mpg. The Honda Civic Hybrid is best known for its efficiency on the road while the Toyota Corolla is tailing not too far behind with its 28 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the freeway. When it comes to midsize category you will not be surprised to see this Nissan Versa 26 mpg in the metropolis and 31 mpg in the freeway.

With the soaring gas prices around the world, EPA or Environmental Protection Agency has made a helpful guide for the buyers in buying the cars with the best mileage that they can find in the market. This EPA guide will show the prospective buyers the normal mileage or the fuel consumption of the cars whether in the city or in the highway. Poor gas mileage is one of the reasons why more than 15% of potential buyers decline a certain model. Around 40% will choose to buy a mid-size SUV rather than to buy a vehicle with poor mileage performance.

Other cars with the best gas mileage include the Toyota Scion XA with its 32 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway. This vehicle has a 1.5 litre, 4 cylinder engine. Next in line is the Toyota Echo with its larger engine and the impressive 35 mpg on the city while on the highway it will give you 43 mpg.
