7 Benefits of Having a “Water Powered Car”


7 Benefits of Having a “Water Powered Car”.

No doubts about it, it’s now possible to power your car on water. Apart from the many benefits that this exciting technology has on the planet, it also has many widespread benefits for many individuals around the world, including YOU.

Below are 7 of the top benefits of having a “Water-Powered Car”:

1. Improves your gas mileage by up to 35%. This includes both city and highway driving conditions. Imagine how much money this would save you at the end of the month, at the end of the year. It is estimated that this could save you as much as $900 per year. If you have two, three or four drivers in the family, this yearly savings increases dramatically. And what if you have a fleet of 50 drivers in your company? Then your yearly savings will multiply to nearly $45,000. Potentially even more.

2. Eliminates harmful exhaust emissions that pollute the environment and contribute to global warming. Your engine will ADD oxygen to the environment instead of polluting it. How about doing something good to help the environment for a change?

3. Greatly enhances engine power and performance. The more gas you use on your car, the more the engine gets battered - thus reducing the vehicles performance. But by using water as an alternative, this enhances your engine power instead and improves performance.

4. Removes carbon deposits and prevents future carbon build up.

5. Reduces the operating temperature of the engine.

6. You will notice a calmer, quieter and much smoother engine operation as well as smoother gearshifts. This is due to the effect water has on the combustion cycle inside your engine.

7. Enjoy a longer life expectancy for your engine, especially the pistons, rings and valves.

These are just some of the many benefits of this exciting technology. Remember, even YOU can build the device needed to make this technology work for YOU, right in the comfort of your home.

    3 Ways To Increase Gas Mileage Easily


    This article is about different ways to increase gas mileage so that you can save gas on car as well as money. The reason why I'm writing this article is because the rate of inflation is high any where in this world due to the surging oil and gas prices. The cost of living is becoming higher and higher because the price of the most important raw materials - oil and gas, is increasing day by day. To people who own cars like us, owning a car and driving a car has become a huge expenses of the day. If we can learn some ways to increase gas mileage, then I can sure that our lives will be better off. Here are some tips to save gas on car.

    Plan Your Route

    It is important that you learn the map before driving. By doing so, you can avoid unnecessary mistakes and take the long route. It is advisable that you purchase a GPS system. Although it is rather expensive, but believe me, it is a very good investment!

    Increase Tire Pressure

    Is is important to make sure that your tyre pressure is high enough. People may think that if it is too low, then we should add air to bring the tires to their recommended pressure. However, I have found that by inflating the tires 2 to 3 lbs over recommended, you can actually increase your gas mileage.

    Gas Tank Must Be More Than 1/4

    Some people have been suggesting to lower the total car weight by filling the gas not more than 1/4 of the gas tank. This method does not work! When the gas tank is low, there will be impurity or your engine will not have sufficient gas supply. This will reduce the efficiency of your engine and hence lower your gas mileage. Therefore, make sure that your gas tank is always more than 1/4 full!

    Using the above three methods, you should be able to increase gas mileage by about 10% easily (given that you really follow strictly). It is easy to know these tips to save gas consumption and different ways to increase gas mileage, however how many people really follow the secret to increase gas mileage. I do, do you?

    6 Ways You're Wasting Gas


    NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- With all the worry over fuel prices, you'd think drivers would do whatever they can not to waste gas. But look around and you'll see lots of them tooling around as if they owned their own tanker fleet. One of them might be you.

    Here are six ways drivers typically waste gas on every trip:


    1. Racing away from green lights


    When the light turns green, you don't have to take off as quickly as possible. That pedal under your right foot is called the "gas pedal" for a good reason. The more you press down on it, the more gas you're pumping into the engine.

    Press lightly on the gas pedal, and you'll still accelerate, and you'll still get where you're going. You might be surprised at how little pressure it takes to get your car up to speed in a reasonable time.

    2. Racing up to red lights

    When you're driving down the street, and you see a light red light or stop sign up ahead, you should lay off the gas sooner rather than later.

    There's no point in keeping your foot on the gas until just before you reach the intersection. Let off the pedal sooner and give your engine a rest as you coast to the stop while braking gently. As an added benefit, your brake pads will last longer, too.

    By themselves, these first two tips can improve your fuel economy around town by as much as 35 percent, according to tests conducted by automotive information Web site Edmunds.com.

    3. Confusing the highway with a speedway

    Even if it doesn't involve hard acceleration, speeding wastes gas. The faster you go, the more air your vehicle has to push out of the way. It's like moving your hand through water. The faster you try to move your hand, the harder the water pushes back.

    In tests by Consumer Reports, driving at 75 miles per hour instead of 65 miles per hour reduced fuel economy by between 3 and 5 miles per gallon, depending on the vehicle.

    4. Bumper-buzzing


    Tailgating is a bad move for many reasons. First of all, it's unsafe. You reduce your ability to react if the car in front of you slows or stops. It also means you have to pay ultra-close attention to that car which reduces your ability to scan for other hazards ahead of you and to the sides.

    And tailgating wastes gas. Every time the driver ahead taps his brakes, you have to slow down even more than he did. (That's because you can't react immediately so you have to slow even more because you're slowing down later.) Then you accelerate again to get back up to speed and resume your bumper-buzzing routine.

    Hang back and you'll be safer - plus you'll be able to drive more smoothly and use less fuel. A good rule of thumb is to allow two seconds of space between your car and the one ahead. You can figure that out by counting off two seconds after the car in front of you passes an obvious landmark like an overpass.

    5. Driving standing still

    You've probably heard that it takes more gas to restart a car than to let it run. Maybe that used to be true, but it isn't anymore. With modern fuel-injection engines, it takes very little extra gas to restart a car once it's warmed up.

    Idling, meanwhile, burns about a half-mile worth of gas every minute, according to the California Energy Commission. That's why hybrid cars shut down their gasoline engines whenever they stop, even for a moment.

    Now you don't want to shut your engine down for every little stop in your regular, non-hybrid car - it's not designed for that - but if you're waiting for someone to run in and out of a convenience store, turn off the engine.

    And don't go through the drive-through at fast food restaurants. You're already paying enough for the oil in those chicken nuggets.

    Bonus tip: Don't idle your engine to let it warm up before driving. It does your engine no good and it wastes gas. Instead, start driving right away, but drive gently until the engine is warm.

    6. Short hops

    For really short trips, take advantage of the opportunity to get some exercise. Try walking to the store instead of driving. You can save gas and burn a few calories instead.

    If you can't hoof it, save up your errands. A lot of short hops that let the engine cool down at home between trips can use twice as much gas as starting the car once and making a big sweep to all your stops, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

    Go to your farthest destination first so your engine has a chance to reach its optimal operating temperature. Then make your other stops on the way back. With the engine warmed up, the car will restart easily and run efficiently all the way home.

  • Driving More Effeciently


    Driving More Efficiently

    Drive Sensibly


    Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by 5 percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you and others, so you may save more than gas money.
    Fuel Economy Benefit: 5-33%
    Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.19-$1.23/gallon

    Observe the Speed Limit

    Graph showing MPG VS speed MPG decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mphWhile each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph.

    As a rule of thumb, you can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.20 per gallon for gas.

    Observing the speed limit is also safer.
    Fuel Economy Benefit: 7-23%
    Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.26-$0.86/gallon

    Remove Excess Weight

    Avoid keeping unnecessary items in your vehicle, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your MPG by up to 2%. The reduction is based on the percentage of extra weight relative to the vehicle's weight and affects smaller vehicles more than larger ones.
    Fuel Economy Benefit: 1-2%/100 lbs
    Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.04-$0.07/gallon

    Avoid Excessive Idling


    Idling gets 0 miles per gallon. Cars with larger engines typically waste more gas at idle than do cars with smaller engines.

    Use Cruise Control

    Using cruise control on the highway helps you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, will save gas.

    Use Overdrive Gears

    When you use overdrive gearing, your car's engine speed goes down. This saves gas and reduces engine wear.

    Note: Cost savings are based on an assumed fuel price of $3.72/gallon.

    10 Easy-to-Follow Gas-Saving Steps


    Here are 10 easy-to-follow steps to increase your fuel economy. When you've mastered these, grasshopper, you'll be ready for the master's course in hyper-mileage.

    1. Don’t speed. Driving 65 mph instead of 75 mph will increase your fuel economy by about 10 percent. Pride yourself on being a slowpoke.

    2. Avoid "jack rabbit" starts. Flooring the gas pedal wastes gas and leads to drastically higher pollution rates.

    3. Anticipate stops. Think ahead to anticipate stops so your vehicle can coast down. Accelerating hard and braking hard wastes gas, increases pollution, and wears out your brakes.

    4. Keep your tires properly inflated. For every 3 pounds below recommended pressure, fuel economy goes down by about 1 percent.

    5. Avoid rush hour, if possible. Stop-and-go driving burns gas and increases emissions of smog-forming pollutants. For hybrids that can stay in electric mode at low speeds, the effects of stop-and-go driving are greatly reduced.

    6. Travel light. An extra 100 pounds in your trunk reduces fuel economy by about 1 percent.

    7. Combine trips. Warmed-up engines run more efficiently and generate less air pollution.

    8. Leave off the air conditioning, if possible. AC increases fuel consumption, increases smog-forming NOx emissions in some vehicles, and can involve environmentally damaging fluids. At high speeds, open windows increase drag; use vents if possible. Learn more about effects of air conditioning on hybrids.

    9. Check your own fuel economy every few weeks. If you notice the numbers slipping, then think about how your driving might have changed, and consider getting a tune-up or an oil change.

    10. Drive less. Give your car a rest by taking public transportation, riding a bike, or walking. The exercise will do you good.

  • Better Gas Mileage in a Honda Civic Hybrid


    The Honda Civic Hybrid is often upstaged by the Toyota Prius. Meanwhile, many Civic Hybrid drivers are achieving fuel economy numbers consistently in the 60-mpg range. Don't believe it? That's okay. If you try out even one or two of the simple techniques—like using cruise control as often as possible—you may experience a nice bump in your fuel economy.

    Which of these techniques are the most useful to Civic Hybrid drivers? To find out, we read hundreds of web posts, and spoke directly with the most accomplished of fuel-efficient drivers. (Special thanks to Bob Barlow and "Hot Georgia" Steve.) The table below—very much a work in progress—is our attempt to organize the greatest hits of Honda Civic Hybrid mileage advice into something you can use everyday.

    Ultimately, it's your job to discover what works, and what doesn't. Let us know about your experiences. We'll use your feedback to continue to add and modify this unofficial "Reader's Digest" guide to maximizing your mileage.
    Overview

    The Honda Civic Hybrid—with its small engine and easy-to-view dashboard mileage gauges—gives the careful driver all the tools needed for extended coasting and super highway mileage. It lacks the ability to launch in all-electric mode—which helps to save gas in stop-and-go traffic—but makes up for it on the highway to produce overall mileage nearly equal to a Prius.
    Break-in Period

    Give any hybrid a full six months and/or 10,000 miles to get broken in. The biggest impact occurs in the first 2,000 miles or so, and it may take as much as 15,000 to achieve peak mpg's. Hybrid owners commonly experience a 10-15% improvement in fuel economy after the new car smell has drifted away.
    Route Selection

    Speed is your enemy. The ideal routes have long stretches without stops, and speed limits of 40 – 45 mph (especially while using cruise control.)

    Don't be concerned about hills, especially routes with short steep uphills and long gradual downhills. The coast on the way down—especially if it's uninterrupted—will more than make up for the extra energy to get to the top. And the downhill stretches will give you a chance to recharge your battery through regenerative braking.

    Experiment with multiple routes to see which paths consistently produce the best mileage.
    When to Drive

    Cold starts are mpg killers. The Civic Hybrid and other hybrids get the worst mileage in the first five to ten minutes of driving. The auto-stop feature, which shuts down the gasoline engine when you come to a stop, is less likely to engage during the warm-up period.

    Some drivers put less demand on the gasoline engine during warmup by driving slowly and coasting as much as possible. This improves fuel economy during warmup, but may result in a longer warmup period.

    In other words, no matter what you do, there is certain amount of fuel that will be used during the warmup period. The best advice is to get all your errands done in one outing.

    Avoid rush-hour traffic, if at all possible.

    Do your best to skip driving during rainy, slushy or snowy conditions.
    Tire Pressure

    Tire pressure (i.e., rolling resistance) has a significant influence on fuel economy, and an obvious impact on safety and the quality of your ride. Do the research, and make your own decisions about how far to take the tire pressure to maximize mileage.

    Drivers getting the highest mileage recommend using the recommended maximum tire pressure on the sidewalls—not the psi supplied by the automaker on the doorframe.

    Maintain the maximum recommended tire pressure. Check the tire pressure regularly so the pressure does not fall below the maximum level.
    Fuels

    Low octane gasoline is best. (There is actually less energy in high-octane fuel.)

    Some convenience stores may use more additives than "name brand" gas stations.
    Distance from Other Vehicles

    Be aware of road conditions. The most important factor in maximizing your mpg is your ability to take your foot off the accelerator absolutely as soon as know that you'll need to slow down or stop

    To give yourself time to stop and coast, create space between you and the car in front of you—except when you have the opportunity to "draft" behind other vehicles on the highway. You can obtain the benefits of drafting while maintaining a safe distance of 150 feet of more.
    Starting & Warming Up

    Start up and get going without delay.
    Dashboard Displays

    Observe the instantaneous mileage reading. Monitor which conditions get the instantaneous display to move as far to the right as possible.

    Slipping the vehicle into neutral will almost always "max out" the instant reading to 120 mpg.

    Use the "Trip A" monitor to keep track of lifetime mileage, and "Trip B" to monitor mileage for your current tank. Alternatively, reserve one of the trip meters to measure fuel economy for specific routes to help you determine which routes to take in the future.
    Accelerating & Cruising

    While nearly everyone agrees that lower rpm's are best, there are two schools of thought about acceleration.

    Slow Accel
    Accelerate absolutely as gradually as possible, backing off the accelerator as you increase speed.

    Moderate Accel
    The time you spend at low speeds is time spent at lower gear ratios. This increases engine revolutions, and hence, engine friction. So, the best strategy—especially for a manual transmission—is to accelerate at wide open throttle, but upshift at the lowers possible rpm. Moderate accelerations in the CVT will keep the engine at optimal efficiency at all times.

    Cruising
    When you need to enter a highway or otherwise rapidly accelerate, simply stomp on the gas and go. The battery power will "assist" the gasoline engine, thereby reducing your fuel use.

    For highway driving, get best results by setting cruise control at 55 mph. For every mph over 50 mph, you lose approximately 1 mpg. Slowing down from 65 to 60 mph or from 75 to 70 mph will save you approximately 5 mpg.
    Braking & Deceleration

    Use every opportunity to coast rather than applying the brakes—even if it's only for a couple of hundred feet.

    If you are comfortable with shifting back and forth from neutral, then slip into neutral to extend the duration of the coast. Coasting in neutral prevents regenerative braking, giving you a longer coast.

    Anticipate short uphill stretches by gaining speed while approaching the hill, and coasting as far as possible up the incline.
    All-Electric Mode

    The Honda Civic Hybrid, model years 2003-2005, uses an all-electric mode when the car is coming to stop or at a standstill. This feature is called "auto-stop."

    To get the auto-stop to engage, you must travel at least 10 mph and then return to a stop. If auto-stop is engaged waiting at a light, and the car ahead of you "creeps" ahead a few feet, do not follow. Stay where you are as long as possible to keep the gasoline engine from idling.

    Note: The redesigned 2006 Civic Hybrid can deactivate all cylinders and go all-electric. We are currently collecting information about the best strategies for achieving all-electric mode in the 2006 Civic Hybrid.
    Idle versus Shutdown

    In conditions that require you to wait for longer than one minute, (e.g., line at fast food restaurant) set your parking brake and shift into neutral. Turn the key one click to turn the engine off (provided that you do not need A/C, defroster, etc.).

    If you need the fan, radio, etc., then click once to "on" again, but do not restart the engine until the line you are waiting in has moved at least a cars length.

    If you need to move forward, restart the engine. If you think that you'll remain stationary for a minute or longer, once again shut down the engine. Practice stopping-restarting, stopping-restarting in moderation. This process increases wear on the starter.
    Gear Selection

    Avoid lower gears, unless you are trying to reduce use of brakes on severe downhill stretch.

    Coasting in N, rather than D, can give you a 30-40% improvement in the length of the coast.
    AC and Accessories

    In model years prior to 2006, running certain accessories will not allow you to activate auto-stop. To engage auto-stop as frequently as possible, set the AC "Econ" button to on. In the 2006 Civic Hybrid, the auto-stop function will engage even when accessories are being used.

    Using the defroster, especially the electric rear defroster, places high loads on the engine and uses additional fuel. To keep auto-stop working while using the windshield defroster, keep the vent set to defrost but keep the fan set to off. This will allow a steady flow of air over the windshield. As needed, switch the fan on half way, let it run for a minute, then switch it off.

    Alternatively, you can try this "hack:"

    1. Turn the vent control (top knob) to "face" (one to the right of auto).
    2. Turn the temp knob all the way to cold (left).
    3. Turn the fan control to "auto."
    4. Hold the three buttons down: AC, recirculate and econ button.
    5. Insert key into ignition and start.
    6. Hold the buttons down for seven seconds. The ECON light will blink 7 times.
    7. Release button.
    8. Now you can enter auto-stop while using defrost.
    9. To switch back to default, repeat the process above.


    State of Charge (SOC)

    For the most part, the Civic Hybrid's state of charge will be maintained in an ideal state by the vehicle's computer system.

    When the batteries are below half-way, the "assists"—the use of battery power during rapid acceleration—will occur less fequently.

    Two bars of power on the battery charge gauge are sufficient. If there are two bars or less, then keep the car in D when stopping in order to maximize regenerative braking. If you have more than two bars of power, then use N for stopping and coasting.

    The advantages of coasting outweigh the benefits of regenerative braking and and assists.
    Cruise Control

    Use the cruise control as often as possible.

    You must be traveling at least 25 mph to engage cruise control.

    Use the accel and decel button on the steering wheel to moderate your speed.
    Advanced Techniques

    Consistency, slow acceleration, and maximizing the duration of coasting.

  • Some Easy Steps To Easily Help You Improve Your Gas Mileage


    By Gregg Hall
    There are many times when a person will find themselves wondering how they can improve their gas mileage and even though there isn't really anything anyone can do about the gas prices there is something that you can do to get better fuel efficiency. You can trade whatever car you have now in for a better car that's gets better mpg. I would consider getting a 4 cylinder for the high prices that we have today. Even though I would rather drive a small pickup the little cars that are around today are getting great gas mileage and that's even better if the car is turbocharged.

    I have heard that if you get your oil changed it will give you better gas mileage but that's only getting changed every 3 months or every 3000 miles. So to me that wouldn't really be saving any gas because it doesn't sound like oil and can save you gas mileage. The thing that I would think would save gas mileage is what they tested on Myth Busters and that is less than 45mph you should ride with your windows down and the a/c off but if you are going over 45mph and creating drag then you should have the windows rolled up and the a/c on. That's just what they tested and it proved to save way more gas up to over 30 miles with the a/c on over 45mph.

    Your tires need to also be at the right pressure or they will be causing you to lose gas mileage as well. When your tires are not to the right tire pressure then they will have to work harder to grip the ground to get the car moving. So if your tires are at the perfect pressure then you will not be forcing

    your tires to move so hard and they will move easier making the gas mileage better in a way. You would be getting better with perfect pressure then when you never check your tire pressure is what the point is.

    You should not keep a lot of stuff in your trunk because more weight equals more drag so you will be getting less mpg. So you might want to clean your car out of all the garbage, trash and other things not needed so your car will produce better gas mileage.

    You should never turn off the car if you are just going in a store for a split second or less because your car will get better gas mileage if the car is already warm where as it is cold. So just keeps the car running if you are just going into the post office for a minute.
