Water for gas scam?

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Can you electrolyze water to make a gas to run your car on?

Are the claims of 25% 50% 250% MPG gains true?

It takes a lot of energy to break the bonds of the H20 molecules more power then you will get back by burning the gas. your alternator will create a bigger load on the engine for the power used to make the gas then you wil get back from burning it resulting in a net loss of MPG. This is one of the biggest lies on the internet if you got taken buy a water for gas scam request a refund and complain to the FTC

Just another issue of the FTC failing to do their job of protecting consumers

Does the tornado fuel saver work?

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

Does the tornado fuel saver work?

There are a lot of bogus fuel saving devices out there promising to save you gas most of them will only lighten you wallet. Some will also reduce you gas mileage and lighten your wallet even more these device should be call wallet lighteners. Some may even burn your car down.

From popularmechanics.com   VORTEX GENERATORS

THE DYNO SAYS: Both devices reduced peak horsepower by more than 10 percent. The Intake Twister increased fuel consumption by about 20 percent; the TornadoFuelSaver provided no significant change also stated device could fall apart and damage the engine

Other devices

MIRACLE MAGNETS

Come you can’t be that naive put magnets on you fuel lines will do nothing but relieve you of some cash.

ENGINE IONIZER

The Electronic Engine Ionizer Caused a fire and the test had to be discontinued some of these device are out right dangerous. I am sure it would not of helped.

VAPOR INJECTORS

Vaporizes some fuel claim the modern fuel inject does not do a good job of vaporizing fuel again no fuel savings

WATER INJECTION

injects water in to the engine and reduces Horse power and MPG 20% very good at lighting your wallet even more

http://www.popularmechanics.com/automotive/new_cars/1802932.html

They did not cover the additive scams like eefuel they say they use “NANO technology” to increase you mileage stating that the air/fuel mixture explodes stronger LOL don’t let these products lighten you wallet Why isn’t the FTC doing their job of protecting consumers and shutting these guys down. If you have been ripped off by false gas saving claims please file a complaint with the FTC. File Gas Scam Complaint. Maybe if they get enough complaints they will do something but most likely we will have to complain to congress that the FTC is ineffective and we should replace their leaders. The claims these scam artist are making are illegible and the FTC should lock these guy up for a long time that is the only thing that will stop these scams .

We will cover the water for gas scam in our next post tomorrow please do not be fooled in to lighten your wallet the weight of the dollars is not enought to reduces weight enought to save you gas

A123 Hymotion L5 Plug-in Conversion Modules to ship in December

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

A123systems to ship L5 Plug-in Hybrid conversion modules in December for 2004 to 2008 Prius hybrids.

The Hymotion L5 Plug-in Conversion Modules are designed to convert 2004 to 2008 Toyota Prius into a PHEVs that can achieve up to 100 mpg and run in electric only mode for  30 to 40 miles. The L5 modules will cost $9,995 plus $400 destination fee plus any applicable taxes including installaton. We hope the CARB will proved tax credits or rebates to get conversions to PHEV off to a fast start. I calculated my savings would be almost 200 gallons a year that would save about $800 a year for a 12 year savings pay off hopefully in a few years prices will drop to under $6000 rebates or tax credits would help incress production and get prices lower faster. At less then $6000 I think alot of drivers would convert.
