trini58	Do you have any knowledge of the site waterforgas? It sounds good, but I would like to know if anybody has tried it. Waterforgas will sell you a book for you to make a device to attaches to your air filter (i think) and is supposed to give you more mileage. They have a lot of testimonials but I would like to hear from someone outside their website. Everything they say makes sense but the fact the they are not making the device and selling it (they can make $$$)and selling you the instructions raised a flag for me. Can anybody tell me more about this? thanks.

The devices can't save gas, because they're using the car's energy (gasoline) to make electricity, to make hydrogen, to burn in the engine. Internal combustion engines return about 20% mechanical energy from the fuel they burn, so you're losing 80% every time you do this. No gain is possible.

Here's a pretty good explanation of why this is a scam.
