Oil supplies are being used up even while demand is growing around the world. We are rapidly approaching a time when the oil that can be pumped out of the ground is less than the world's demand for oil. When that day arrives you might think that $10 for a gallon of gasoline would be cheap.

We need to act fast to develop alternative energy supplies. We should be responding to this potential crisis to the same degree we would react to war. Everybody needs to feel involved in reducing our demand for imported oil by improving the insulation in properties and using their cars in a more economical way and using less gas.

We were taught at school that water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen both of which burn. Hydrogen is a very good fuel so we could be trying to get the hydrogen out of water and use that as gas but it used to be thought too expensive.

Engineers have been working away for years to develop simple ways to generate hydrogen gas from water and the seem to have succeeded. You can use these systems to generate gas and feed it into your car engine to use with normal gas.

You can easily find the parts locally and assemble them in your garage. They say you can fit the kit to your car in a couple of hours and be ready to run your car on water.

It has always been a dream of engineers to be able to run a car on water and while you do still need to use normal gas as well these systems do say that using the hydrogen should give you better gas consumption.

It is difficult to know how much gas you might save with these kits fitted to your car. Some people claim to double the miles they get for each gallon of gas but they may be special situations. Most folk reckon on saving about 20% or more so that comes to a great saving when you see the price gas is these days.
