just past my G1 driver's licence paid 135$ for it
paid my driving course 540$
bought a dodge plymouth voyageur 800$ + battery 100$

i can't drive it because with G1 you need to be with someone who had his licence beside you all the time

i had to past the safety check and e-test on my van
if there's a problem i had to fix it before i put it on the road
that may cost me another 1000$


i am just tired now spending all my money on that....lol.


i will have my G2 licence in october 2008


so maybe the price of gaz will be less expensive in oct

sigh

There seems to be a new fuel conversion kit on the marketplace for most gas and diezel cars. Converts water into hydrogen. The hydrogen is then mixed with the fuel to give better mileage.

A relative just installed one on his new 2008 large pick up. Normally gets around 17-18 miles to the gallon. He is expecting 35+ with this. Also has less emmission. he just began to run it with this set up.
So I don't know. Will post again in a few months to confirm info here.

Kit cost less than $300. His has 4 quart containers. Each container is to make some 1800 gallons of what is called Brown Fuel or HHO. So you need fill them once a year or so. This bothers me that such a small source can deliver such a large quantity. But there is a chemical reaction with the system, and with some kinds of chemcial reactions you do get increased quanities.

You need an installer to place it on the vehicle. The carburator (or injector) and electronics of the car need to be altered.

I am still checking it out. Break thru occurred last year with a inventor here in Florida. He has licensed a number of firms to make the kits and
installers to place them on vehicles.

Do you homework prior to decide to buying/installing one. Check the BBB and with parties that have one installed. Also might effect your car's warrantee. I am still doing homework on it. Anyone that has one installed, please do contact me or post here. I have not seen any endorsement from a gov't agency on it.

Web site is:

www.runyourcarwithwater.com
for a the installer info package

Search sting

"water to fuel"

Will bring up a number of sites of it.

As said this is not an endorsement. Just some public info that is out there presently. It is new, buyer beware at this point.

He needed to fly fish....then would have been legal by being in the water......:-)....last time I did that here Florida, I had a gator brush me.
So I guess you get your druthers......buy the gas, pay the fine or get to be lunch for a large lizard. So just pick your fishing spots carefully.

I had a McDonald's Fish Sandwhich afterwards the gator brushed me. My fly fishing days here in Florida were over.;-)

Wow how do the folks in europe afford the gas??? I drive eighty miles a day and it pisses me off but it's the only way to get to my job. Now Venezuela is looking good for retiring with my gas driven golf cart. hope they have courses over there. Can they still steal property if they go national on you?

rolling on the floor laughing Taking the bus (shame train) in America is definitively an experience at times.

I take the train and bus here in Sweden when I go on a trip outside of my city. I do use my bike to go everywhere here in my little city that I live in.

The trains here in Sweden are clean and top notch. They even serve 5.3 percent beers. The buses are very clean as well, and a lot of people use the transpo systems here in Sweden, professionals and weirdos....no bums or anything....social democracy here so nobody is left homeless.

That is all I got....

LOL Have driven a 350 with a V8 for over 20 years. Gas has ALWAYS been a factor, so I have had a LOT of practice/experience on how to conserve it. Habits are already literally habits, so nope, not much of a change.

I paid $3.86 a gallon today at the pumps.

I drive as few miles as I can. My town is 6 miles away from a store.

I set my trip meter in the car to zero to see how many miles per gallon. I never bothered with that before.

I wish I had not stopped talking to my ex husband. He builds neighborhood electric cars (the guy in the "Infinity Miles Per Gallon" video). rolling on the floor laughing
