Okay, it’s official. Even the cheapest gas is over four bucks a gallon. And the morning news said it would likely be five dollars per gallon by July 4th!
The obvious solution, if you can afford it, might be to buy a hybrid. But that can be an expensive answer, even after factoring in savings at the pump. Unfortunately most hybrids cost anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000 more than their “gas only” counterparts and finding a good used hybrid is near impossible.
In this article, we’ll look at two options to get you huge fuel savings; 1.) finding the best deals on a hybrid and 2.) converting your current car, truck or minivan into a hybrid. First for the best deals…
To find the best deal you need to factor in all the angles. Let’s start with some added benefits of driving a hybrid. Some states, like California and Virginia, allow a single occupant to use the high occupancy vehicle lane (or carpool lane) if driving a qualified hybrid. If you’ve ever been stuck on an LA freeway or the Capital Beltway during rush hour you might fork over the extra few grand for that little benefit alone.
If you’re looking for more monetary incentive, ask the dealer about Federal and state tax benefits for buying a hybrid. You might qualify for up to $5,000 in tax credit depending on the vehicle you buy and where you live.
As for cost, it depends on what you want. Most dealers can barely keep a hybrid on the lot so they are not likely to make great incentive offers. If you need a car big enough for the whole crew try to avoid the temptation of hybrid SUVs since the typical fuel savings is far less than that of a four or five seater car. If you only need a two seater, consider the “Smart Car” http://www.smartusa.com/ . They have features you expect on a $40,000 luxury import, like 5 speed automated manual transmission with Paddle shifters, but with a price tag of $11K for a simple “pure” model to $16K for the luxury sport Cabriolet convertible. And of course you’re getting about 40 to 45 mpg with whatever model you choose.
Now for the second option; convert your current vehicle to a water fuel (hydrogen) hybrid. Don’t worry, it sounds a lot harder than it is. I converted my 1995 Isuzu Pickup for $106 in just a few hours (including the time it took to go buy the parts.)
I’m not talking about adding batteries and changing the way the engine works. You can build or buy a simple hydrogen conversion kit for about $100 and install it in less than a half hour. It only takes 5 minutes to remove if you ever want to and does not alter your engine.
There are two quick and easy ways to convert your car to a hydrogen hybrid. You can go with a system that uses ordinary tap water (from any household faucet) or one that uses distilled water. Both work great and cost about the same to build and install or you can buy one ready built.
First is the one I’ve used, that works with plain tap water. “RunYourCarFromWater.com” offers a complete easy to understand DIY hydrogen hybrid manual for $49, http://www.RunYourCarFromWater.com. The parts to build it cost about $50 to $60 and you can get the parts from your local Wal-Mart or hardware store.
They guarantee a minimum 40% increase in your gas mileage. I got more than double that on my 13 year old pickup truck (about 90%) so 40% is a bit low in my experience. You’ll probably do much better.
Or you can try “Water for Gas”, which uses distilled water in its fuel cell. The manual is $97 and is available from http://www.Water4GasWeb.com. The site also offers info on how to buy a readymade conversion unit and tips on getting a mechanic to install it for you.
Doing it yourself you will probably recoup all expenses in a month or less, depending on how much you drive. If you buy a readymade unit and pay a mechanic to install it, it might take a few months to pay for itself.
I hope you have a chance to experience just how great it feels. Good luck!

Is it any surprise that thousands of people have begun contemplating the advantages of hybrid cars? Gas prices are forcing drivers to consider whether or not they should buy a hybrid.
With the continuing rise is oil and gas prices the hybrid car advantages are hard to ignore. Here’s the problem… As with any new technology there will be a lot of rumors and myths going around and the hybrid vehicle is no exception.
So how do hybrid cars compare to their conventional counterparts and what are the truths behind these myths.
Hybrids Are Slow?
It has been commonly thought that hybrids are unable to go fast enough for freeway travel. Well that may have been true of the earlier models where the weight of the battery played a significant issue in the cars ability to generate rapid starts and fast speeds. Not any more.
With the advancements in battery technology, so too have the hybrids advanced. They are now quite able to compete with the speeds reached by their conventional counterparts. As hybrid vehicles become more mainstream and technology advances they will continue their upward advancement in achievable speeds.
Hybrids Cost Too Much!
Are Hybrid cars really too expensive. Although the initial outlay can be expensive ( what car isn’t?) they quickly make up for their cost in the money you save on fuel. Is there any doubt that the way the gas prices are going, a hybrid vehicle will become more and more of a bargain to own.
Not to mention the fact that it has been announced that you will soon be able to purchase kits to convert your car to an electrical hybrid, or if money is really tight and you are ready to convert right away you can also invest in a water conversion kit to create a your own water hybrid.
No excessive money spent there. Only about $150 to purchase the instruction book and all required parts.
Hybrid Plug Ins?
Another common myth is that all hybrids need to be plugged in. Well this is true of the original electric hybrid vehicles. Now there are electrical hybrids that have a battery on board that is charged as you drive.
So you are still gaining the advantage of saving on the cost of fuel, without the problem of having to plug in every few hours. Research is continuing and that will result in an even better version which will combine the best of both worlds.
A electrical hybrid that would run on the plug in power for the first part of the trip and then switch to the charged battery power for the reminder of the trip. Imagine having to fill your gas but tank once or twice a month, while your hybrid creates the rest of the need power.
There are many advantages to hybrid cars, and as technology advances the advantages will too. If you are looking for a great fuel efficient, environmentally friendly vehicle, think hybrid vehicle.
Forget the myths, learn the truth and soon you can be driving a hybrid too.

A hybrid vehicle is one which uses two or more different power sources in order to move. The most common type of hybrid is known as a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) and uses a combination of the traditional internal combustion engine together with one or more electric motors. Car manufacturers such as Toyota, Honda, Ford and Lexus now offer a range of HEVs to choose from, but you may be wondering why anyone should bother with a Hybrid vehicle at all.
Fuel Economy
Many features of Hybrid electric vehicles allow you to save money on fuel costs. For example, a technology known as regenerative braking takes energy that is normally wasted as heat during braking and converts this energy into electricity to recharge the car’s internal batteries. HEVs are also much more fuel-efficient in slow moving traffic. Of course, one of the biggest reasons that Hybrids are cheaper to run is that the workload is divided between the electric motors and the combustion engine which means a smaller capacity engine can be used, leading to further savings on fuel.
The Green View
Naturally, lower fuel consumption leads to lower carbon emissions. As a general rule, Hybrid cars are much more ecologically friendly than their petroleum guzzling counterparts, and in general the emissions of Hybrid cars are now at or below the level set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Less reliance on gasoline also helps towards reducing our dependence on oil, currently becoming harder and harder to get a hold of. As more and more countries around the world attempt to find greener ways of producing electricity such as Wind, Water and Solar power, the Hybrid car will become even more appealing from an ecological standpoint as the electricity used to power its motors will be green too. Although previously the Hybrid car battery itself was an area of concern, newer HEVs are built to use Lithium-ion batteries, which are better for the environment.
In summary, Hybrid cars can prove to be not only beneficial to your wallet, but to the Earth as well. Driving a Hybrid car means you can have a clean conscience as the world becomes ever more carbon crazy. Whether you buy one for economical or ecological reasons, the Hybrid car is certainly becoming a more appealing choice by the day.

electric vehicle (also called PHEV) is a car that has batteries that can be recharged through a conventional outlet. PHEVs have both traditional internal combustion engines and batteries that can fully power the car by themselves. The advantage of PHEVs is that when they run on their electric charge only it is estimated they cost about 20-30% of what they would running on gas. Not only does this benefit the consumer, it is also great news for the environment, as these cars reduce air pollution and the greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming.
The future is bright for plug in hybrids. The first PHEVs by large commercial carmakers will be produced in 2009, with even more companies entering the market in a large way in 2010. Even today its possible to have a PHEV if you already have a conventional hybrid vehicle through the use of easily obtained conversion kits. In fact, the Prius you saw today may be a converted PHEV!
Plug-in hybrids are often driven in what is called charge-depleting mode at first, exclusively running from cheaper and cleaner battery power. At a certain level of the battery’s depletion, the internal combustion engine kicks in. More advanced PHEVs may be able to use what is called blended mode, driving in different modes depending on the maximum energy efficiency that can be achieved on a long trip. As of now it is unclear what the all electric range will be for new PHEVs, but it will be easy to tell: It is likely that PHEVs will come in denominations such as a “PHEV-50″ indicating a 50 mile all-electric range.
In parts of Europe recharging spots in parking areas are being installed. These are pay-per use outlets for use by people who drive PHEVs and want to get a full charge for their ride home or to their next destination. In fact, a major car maker has plans to install an electric recahrging spot infastructure in parts of Europe for its fleet of PHEVs. It is possible that as PHEVs get more mainsteam, many hotels and places of business may have recharging stations in their parking lots as well
Despite the fact that carbon emissions are produced when electricity is created, PHEVs are still much less polluting than conventional cars and even regular hybrids. If clean coal, nuclear, or other clean means of producing electricity become more widespead, this difference will be even more pronounced. In addition, PHEVs help create a more efficient and distributed use of electricity production, because they are often recharged during off peak periods (e.g. at night). Finally, a little known but powerful potential use of PHEVs is as a source of emergency power for the home.
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are soon to become available in the mass commercial market, and could be a significant means for the reduction of our dependence of fossil fuel, our contribution to global warming, and the financial stress on people who have to fill their tanks with gas. For these reasons we can all hope that PHEVs develop into a preferred and widespread means of transportation.

Everyone is getting affected by high oil and gas prices.Everyday you get the heart breaking news of increase in fuel prices.Solution is simple to install Hybrid devices in your car.Now thousands of people are using these systems worldwide, where water is used as main source of energy along with minor proportion of gas.
Converting your car to a water burning machine is simple. There’s no need to change your engine or your cars computer.Using a simple device, you can use the electricity from your battery to separate water (H2O) into a gas known as HHO.HHO is a supercharged gas that burns effectively and produces significant energy, greatly improving your fuel economy. Incredibly, the waste product is water.
It has number of advantages.
Significantly reduces your gas bills upto 80%, as main source of energy would be water that’s free. Increase your mileage by 20%-50% or more for just a few hundred dollars. That’s cheaper than an electric Hybrid that could cost $2000 to $3000 These water-running hybrids save $1000’s in gas cost. It’s reliable.Thousands of road tests have shown HHO to be safe. In fact it is safer than any “hydrogen car”. Steam produced in these hybrids cleans your engine,that leads to smoother running of engine and reduces the maintenance charges in long run. These systems are Easy and Fast To Install and remove. You can put one in your car in as little as 2-3 hours.And can be removed in just 2 minutes. The entire system can be built using tools readily available in your next door market and you don’t need to be a mechanic or electrician to do it! The minimal space required for installation is 5 inch wide by 6 inch tall and can be used in any vehicle from cars to trucks. It’s environment friendly. Practically eliminate emissions that affect environment.It also saves emission taxes.
So, why not reap all above benefits by putting some effort from yourend.It might cost few hundred dollars as you have to purchase few parts from nearby market for building this self-made system, that are easily available everywhere.However you might be needed some manual or guide for installing this system.So, just make up your mind, spare some time and follow the instructions from some good manual.You can use the guide developed by Vic Lawson, who claimed to help tens of thousands of people world-wide through step by step video insturctions.
Let’s join the club of tens of thousands of environmental protectors who has already built hybrid cars by using these systems.Infact, it’s truely a win-win deal for you,your environment and society as a whole.
