Tips from me*, and from around the internet:

    * Keep your car properly tuned up to improve gas mileage by about 4 percent.
    * Improve mileage by up to 40 percent by replacing a faulty oxygen sensor.
    * Keep tires properly inflated to improve your gas mileage by more than 3 percent and to extend the life and ensure the safety of your tires.
    * Use the manufacturer’s recommended grade of motor oil to improve your gas mileage by another 1-2 percent. Select motor oil with “Energy Conserving” on the API performance symbol to be sure it contains friction-reducing additives.
    * Check and replace air filters regularly. Replacing a clogged or dirty air filter can improve your car’s gas mileage by as much as 10 percent, and a clean filter keeps impurities from damaging the inside of your engine.
    * Ride a bike! Bikes Rock! They are sexy, riding is exhilarating, and you meet cool people because people who ride bikes rock!
    * Curtail aggressive driving. Speeding, rapid acceleration, and rapid braking all waste gas – and curb mileage by as much as 33 percent at highway speeds, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Nix jack-rabbit starts, opting instead for slow acceleration from a dead stop.
    * In addition, speeding wastes gas – and your money. Each mile per hour you drive over 60 mph is like paying an extra 10 cents per gallon, according to DOE.
    * Get a $2,000 federal tax deduction this year when you purchase a hybrid-electric car. Next year, the deduction drops to $500.
    * When renting a car, ask for a model that gets better fuel economy. Also, remember to fill up the tank before returning the car to the rental company, which always charges much higher gas prices – and sometimes an extra gas surcharge.
    * Avoid idling, which gets 0 mph. Cars with larger engines typically waste even more gas at idling than cars with smaller engines. Turn off your engine at red lights, and even in really bad parking lot traffic jams. 
    * Combine your errands into one trip and plan your routes carefully to drive fewer miles and use less fuel.
    * If available, use your vehicle’s overdrive gear when appropriate to reduce engine speed, save gas, and decrease engine wear.
    * Use cruise control to help cut fuel consumption by maintaining a steady speed during highway driving.
    * If you own more than one vehicle, drive the one that gets better gas mileage whenever possible.
    * Protect your health and your pocketbook by walking to your destination whenever possible. You’ll lose weight, lower stress, save gas and money, and reduce pollution.
    * Pack lightly when traveling, and avoid carrying items on your vehicle’s roof. An extra 100 pounds in the trunk cuts a typical car’s fuel economy 1-2 percent.
    * Carpool and use public transportation whenever possible. And consider telecommuting if your employer allows it.

[Ozzie Freedom]

I have been searching for "free energy" since time immemorial. But haven't we all?

My (real) name is Ozzie Freedom and I’m an experimenter with Water for Gas technology. Back in Israel in 1983, a friend has given me some old Popular Science and Popular Mechanix magazines. I read every word with thirst. In the classifieds I found intriguing ads for "free energy" books and plans that sparked my imagination. I ordered some books and the information I found in them was hard to believe - Official US Patents showing clear, easy to follow technologies to generate what seemed feasible free energy to the inventor AND to the US gov't, thru its Patent Office!

One thing was not clear though. How come these inventions lie there in dust and nobody's DOING anything about them? In the big, rich and powerful America?! It took me many years of research to fully realize that there are people who want these technologies suppressed for as long as they possibly can. For profit of course.

It was not hard to figure out that if it took me so much research to get to this information and this understanding, then it follows that the average dude has little chance of finding out. He's being lied to constantly and massively. My father made sure to teach me all about how impossible free energy was. He kept mentioning extracting energy from water. I kept this at the back of my mind and, as Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot always says, waited for some truth to present itself.

In 2006 it came to me in the shape of a funny little jar that somebody installed in my truck. He said it would generate energy out of water. I was skeptical but enthusiastic to discover the truth. It took minutes to realize - it was indeed working! With plain water out of the guy’s garden hose... It saved gas, drastically suppressed my terrible emissions – and even added some power to my weary 20-year old truck. One of the things I like best was it made the truck very quiet, so I no longer needed to shout on the cellphone or blast the radio.

”A technology so cheap and marvelous must not be put aside – the world must know about this!”, I thought to myself and started doing something about it. I became a teacher. After a few short months I had cars running with this “miracle” all over the world: From Norway to Switzerland, Australia, Canada, Ireland and Poland, Austria and Spain, all over the Good Old USA and Latin America. Oops...I forgot to mention good old England.

Did you notice that when you actually experiment with a new technology, even if only a new recipe in the kitchen, that you become wiser and more confident about it? And you get new realizations that you did not get from reading a piece of paper? Well, that’s exactly what happened to me. It took me some time and a lot of actual experimentation, to finally wrap my head around this “free energy from water” idea. It came in a flash one day: we are NOT generating free energy like some ridiculous machine diagrams that never take off. We’re only REDUCING the 75% waste of normal gasoline engine!

And that’s an important realization.

Do you realize that you’re driving a very poorly designed car? It has a beautiful finish and some very futuristic looks. But it does poorly on energy. Only 25% of the energy in the gasoline you paid dearly for is actually used for moving forward. 75% is turned into heat (destroys the planet), emissions (unburned fuel), and additionally vibration and carbon deposits that slowly destroys the engine. And plain freaking noise that we just take for granted.

We’ve all heard and seen “hybrids” but on the highway they are nothing but regular, inefficient cars. Their aerodynamics are a little better, but that’s true for many other cars that don’t have the Prius looks. It’s a great step forward though, if you can afford the price, because they make us think of alternative energy in more earthly terms.

One major solution can be converting your existing car to FULL ELECTRIC (not hybrid – you throw away the engine and put an electric motor and a bunch of batteries), for which conversion kits are available from several companies in the “green mile” of California’s Bay Area. The next best thing – but 15 to 60(!) times cheaper - is to convert your existing car to a WATER HYBRID. That is, you leave the engine in there, unmodified or mostly unmodified, and you boost it up with water. Yes, it IS possible! And fairly easy.

From my experimentation with different cars, old and new, I found out that the SYSTEM approach to energy savings works the best. I recommend that you use ALL the technologies listed below to save fuel, because they support and supplement each other. A nice 20% saving here, 5% there, 3% over there, it quickly adds up. You can practically double your mileage and be the envy of the neighborhood.

The 12 ingredients of my “secret recipe” are:

1. Install a water-to-energy converter. These are basically electrolyzers or vapor injectors that use very little energy to boost the poor performance of gasoline as explained above. You can get a fully functional, ready to install system dirt cheap from http://stately1.water4gas.hop.clickbank.net/
2. Install a fuel warmer such as “Fuel Atomizer 2000” - http://wyominginstruments.com
3. Replace the spark plug WIRES with “Kiker Wires” from http://KikerPerformance.com that improve the sparks by creating magnetic fields.
4. DO NOT, let me repeat this, DO NOT fill up your tank at stations that add 10% ethanol (the mixture is called “gasohol”). Instead, buy some Xylene (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylene) and add it yourself for much better results and fuel economy.
5. Replace your regular engine oil with “AMSoil Series 2000” synthetic oil or similar low-friction oil.
6. Use a bottle or two of fuel treatment such as “AMSoil P.I.” to clean up.
7. Install what I call, for lack of a better name, “MSE” (MAP Sensor Enhancer, available from http://stately1.water4gas.hop.clickbank.net/ and other sources) which is basically a variable resistor to lean the gasoline mixture. At the same time also UNPLUG the upstream Oxygen Sensor. When you do that, you gain back control over the ECU which is one of the major causes of fuel waste. This by itself saves 11%-31% in my Corolla. There is a right way to do it and there is a wrong way to do it, so learn the ropes before adding this powerful ingredient.
8. Driving habits are another major contributor. Before I go into that it is worth to mention that none of the “miracles” above will do much of its magic if your engine is broken. You can’t just wish your way past a broken piston – fix it. It’s part of your responsibilities as a driver. Now for driving habits, you can read all about it on the Internet, so let me tell you one trick you don’t hear about too often, and that’s to put your gear into neutral when you go downhill. I have a ScanGauge device and (while the water device keeps the engine idling almost without fuel) I get readouts of up to 340 MPG downhill. I have photos to prove it and I believe even higher numbers are possible. That means that for long stretches of road I’m using hardly any gasoline at all.
9. Last is to keep your tires fully pressurized. By “fully” I do not mean “over pressure” because then you lose traction and wear out the tire faster. Only if traction and the life span of the tire are not that important to you for whatever reason, pump 10% or 15% more air than recommended for your vehicle. DO NOT EXCEED the maximum pressure marked on the tire itself!
10. To actually READ the results in real time use the ScanGauge-II from http://www.scangauge.com. It saves you long trips or road tests. And frankly, it’s the only way to tell if certain technologies or driving habits actually work or not. And to what extent.
12. Last but not least is to get your money back. Make your government support you and reward you for doing all the above – see http://thelastgasstation.typepad.com/index/2007/06/tax_incentive_r.html
12. Yeah, and there’s one more ingredient to this secret recipe: don’t be fooled by self-appointed “experts”. How can you tell if one is an expert or a silly bugger? When they tell you “it cannot be done” or “it is scientifically impossible”, you ask them – and INSIST on a straight answer – you ask them if they have ever TRIED it themselves, exactly per a specific technology and with TODAY’S cars. You will find out that they haven’t. Tell them to bugger off. And don’t take my word for it either because maybe I’m a silly bugger just as well. Experiment for yourself! There’s no other way of really KNOWING if it is true or not.

And then let the world know. I do.

Great writing and thinking, Robert! I'd like to get this in my mailbox automatically, but don't see how to do that. (And it was really hard to find my way to the comment box -- you could improve that.) I've passed your link along to numerous friends. Thanks. ~eric.

I know that there are new Michelin tires that help deduce your car's oil consumption and motor power needed per speed unit! And they sound really good two! Another tip is not to drive over 55 mph for lower oil consumption per speed unit.
