Each week we learn more about the various water for gas products and technologies.  It would be a comfort to be gaining enthusiasm and confidence in the viability of the ideas.  But the more we look into the topic the more we find ourselves leaning toward the idea that water for gas, as currently presented, cannot deliver meaningful improvements to MPG performance for a car or truck.

The primary reason for this doubt is simply that it seems the energy needed to create the hydrogen gas is greater than the energy received by the engine in burning that gas. When that is the case, it is not possible to see improved MPG performance. If there are MPG performance improvements it seems most likely those came from some other changes, not from the water for gas system.

There are many articles and web sites promoting the benefits of water for gas. We advise anyone reading this to view those claims with caution and reserve. We think there is too much hype and sales fluff masking the simple underlying reality that meaningful MPG improvements cannot be achieved this way. Sorry about that. Wish it were otherwise.

While we remain skeptical about the use of water as a fuel source for boosting the mpg in cars and trucks, we are intrigued by the developments with the combination of radio frequency generators and salt water.  Salt water can be made to burn. That release of energy suggests a potential fuel source. There is a good background story to this on titled “Could Salt Water Fuel Cars? ” We recommend the read.

We will continue our reviews of the many sites claiming to have a simple process for converting water to a gas to provide an mpg increasing fuel. At this time, we doubt the mpg gains could be widely achieved, if achieved at all.

As a reader, you may really want the water fuel stories to be true. Water as a fuel would solve a huge expensive problem for many of us. But water fuel is just not yet here and available to the market. Not yet. We will keep an open mind and keep looking and reviewing, but for now our position is that the water for fuel web sites and books should be purchased only out of curiosity or for entertainment, not in the expectation that mpg gains are really possible.
