Having a GPS system in your car can reduce your gas use-sage. How? By continually giving the most direct routes to whichever destination you need to go. If it's raining hard and visibility is lower than usual, a GPS can serve as a navigation partner to help you find your way home or to wherever you want to go. This saves you time and gas from spinning your wheels, potentially getting lost along the way, and giving yourself a migraine in the process.
Not only does a GPS give you the most accurate directions, it also provides for projections as to how it will take to get to a certain objective by a particular path. You can then compare paths and time predictions. When you take all of this into consideration, you will realize that paying a few hundred for a brand new GPS unit is not much considering how much it will save you over a short period of time.
Here is a small example. Let's say it costs you $30 each time you go fill up your tank. Imagine that before buying your GPS system you had to get you tank filled on average once a week. That's $1,520 for an entire year.
Now, let's pretend you got you GPS unit up and rolling. With improved efficiency in getting to your destinations, you effectively have reduced the amount of wasted gas as a result of not getting sidetracked or getting lost while driving. Possibly you will only have to get your tank filled up once every two weeks instead- in which case you will only be spending $760 a year for fuel. A savings of 50%.
This is just one example. However, you can see how you can get a return on your investment over and over again simply by purchasing a GPS system which ranges anywhere from $100 or so to $1000 or more. But you don't need to get the fanciest model right out of the starting gate. Anything within the $200-$400 range should give you a very tough system in general.
With all the buzz on the internet and the press about hydrogen fuel-cell cars that essentially run on water, interests have been raised to peak levels. By taking a closer look at the technology that runs a car 100% on water, however, it's clear that the cost of conversion is not yet feasible, at least not yet.
However, many innovative experts suggest that there is a way to cost-effectively utilize this technology now. By powering your car with water in combination with gas or diesel will result in a low-cost "homemade" hybrid vehicle. This type of conversion will result in a dramatic savings of fuel, from 35% to as much as 75%. Building a car from scratch that will run solely on water is still both costly and impractical. Instead, it's better to construct and install a simple device that will harness this hydrogen fuel technology and enable your car to run on water as well as gas. This technology can be implemented right now and result in immediate savings. There is no need to radically alter or modify your car's existing engine, or to even get a new hybrid car to enjoy these savings. The technology can work with virtually any car or truck.
To basically explain how it works, this technology involves building a simple device that is charged by your car's electrical system to create a gas called HHO (consists of two parts and hydrogen and one part oxygen). This HHO gas, also known as Hydrogen*Oxygen™ or "Hydroxy", burns very efficiently. The means it produces significant energy.
Probably the most amazing fact is that pound for pound HHO gas is far more potent than gasoline. Scientific tests show that HHO gas is 3 times more potent than gasoline. And it burns clean, no polluting exhaust.
Saving money on fuel can be easily and quickly achieved by implementing this technology in your car. You save because you use less gas, and drive farther on the gas you do buy. Real-world estimates show that a typical HHO conversion could save you as much as $900 per year ($75 a month). With multiple cars and drivers in a family, the yearly savings increase dramatically. For companies that have a vehicle fleet of 50 cars and drivers in a company, the yearly savings can increase to as much as $50,000 per year.
Until the technology for running a car completely on water is off the drawing board and in the marketplace at a price that makes it practical to implement, utilizing this HHO technology is by far the best choice to save in the interim. Most amazingly, with the right information and a few easily obtained materials, it can be immediately applied. So even if you can't yet save 100% of your gas usage, you can save around 50% now. It's worth doing.
