Run your car with water

I am always amazed at the people who buy into the conspiracy theories that the oil companies are keeping all of this amazing technology from us.

Don't you think that if something like this were viable that other huge companies, like car manufacturers, would be jumping on it?

Car mfg.'s spend hundreds of millions of dollars trying to get more mpg and performance out of engines.

The new CAFE requirments mean that beginning in 2012 the average mpg rating for car mfg.'s will rise 1 mpg per year until it hits something like 35mpg if memory servies me correctly.

These wild schemes to increase gas mileage have been around forever. Popular Mechanics and Popular Science magazines used to be filled with ads trying to get you to just spent a few bucks to double your gas mileage, etc. I think the truth in avertising regulations put most of those guys out of business.

Usually if one of these things does work to increase mpg it has a negative affect in that it destroys the engine or some other bad thing.
