Give your car a huge fuel mpg boost

A while back someone asked me to have a look at the latest ebooks that give instructions on how to improve your car's fuel mpg by augmenting the conventional fuel with hydrogen. The mixture, known as Brown's gas, after its discoverer, is fed into the normal fuel flow of your car to give a huge increase in fuel mpg. This got me to wonder why all the hundreds of technical ideas that seem to offer real solutions to real problems have been completely ignored by the major car manufacturers. 

It seems that some had not been able to attract any funding to continue their research or they had been the subject of various sorts of threats.

Some, it seemed, have been offered large sums of money to halt their work or, most sinister of all, they had died in mysterious circumstances. Now, if these claims had been made by just one or two people then it would be simple to dismiss them and ascribe them to vivid imaginations or sour grapes. But these sorts of claims seem to be everywhere. So what is going on?

Look at the average fuel mpg of the average car. It's only increased by a paltry 25-45% in the last 4 decades. However, if you look at the cars that enter economy trials and competitons, you'll see that well over 100 mpg is achievable with little difficulty by ordinary cars. With all the technology now available to car manufacturers it’s difficult to believe they are unable to develop engines that are both economical and powerful. One would have thought that the competitive advantage they’d reap from producing such a car would be huge.

I need to do a lot more digging to see what's going on here, but, before I do, I'm going to put a system in my 2001 Honda to see if it does what it's supposed to. Happily, the component parts and indeed the instructions themselves, are not at all expensive. I’m pretty hopeful as the technology seems sound and the products do seem to have had a very good reception from everyone who has tried them. 

Of course, all fuel mpg economy systems have come under close scrutiny recently because, as the oil price has rocketed, improving fuel mpg has become a top priority for many drivers. There are dozens of potential ways to save fuel, some of them are worthless and so it will pay you to take your time when choosing the right one. That said, there’s no point in delaying either and for my money, the hydrogen injections systems that I’ve been talking about offer the best bang for your buck that you’re likely to find anywhere.
