"If You Are Tired Of High Gas Prices, There Is Something You Can Do About It RIGHT NOW!"
With gas prices shooting through the roof, there are some devices
and modifications you can implement that will increase your fuel
efficiency and improve your gas mileage. Some of the gas mileage
devices on the market work great, and others are flat out scams.
I'm
going to show you some of the most popular offerings, including the newly popular hydrogen gas savers, and tell you
which work and which are a waste of money.
My personal
review of several gas savers including hydrogen based gas savers:

# 1 - Hydrogen Gas Savers
Rating:

Overall Cost: $50-150
These work by splitting water into "HHO
Gas" which is basically Hydrogen and Oxygen separated from each
other. Most people are reporting results of 20-45% increases in
fuel efficiency. I've also personally tested this setup and got
great results. Hydrogen gas savers literally blow the other gas mileage devices
reviewed out of the water. This is not a commercial snap on
product, you will need to mount the water fuel cell under the hood
somewhere, but that is really easy, it will be about the size of a
coffee thermos. (I used zip ties actually, hah!)
Where to Buy:
#1 -
Run Your Car
with Water
Best Price, excellent quality! This is a very comprehensive
product that is easy to follow and understand.
#2 -
Water4Gas
More expensive, but also a very high quality product.
#3 -
HydroStar
This kit includes the same core information as the other 2, but is
not near as comprehensive and is a little hard to follow.
All 3 of the above products have a 60 Day Money
Back Guarantee.

# 2 -
Performance Chips
Rating:

Overall Cost: $400+
There are several Performance Chips available which can not only
add horsepower to your vehicle, but also improve gas mileage.
These work best with high performance gasoline engines and diesel
engines. I have nothing bad to say about the performance chips,
other than that they can be quite pricey and generally will
require installation and dyno-tuning by a professional performance
shop, which itself can be quite pricey. That being said, they DO
work. Horsepower increase is the most noticeable with these, but
they average around 3-5mpg increase.

# 3 - Turbonator/Vortex
Devices
Rating:

Overall Cost: $20-50
Here is a product which I have actually had marginal success with.
The "Turbonator" and similar knock-off products basically cause a
spinning motion in your air intake hose, which in most cases
allows the air to travel faster to the intake manifold. They are
easy to install, and they do work to a certain degree, but in my
tests I've noticed a maximum increase of 3 horsepower and no
noticeable difference in gas mileage on average, which is far
under the projected results. Because it's so quick and easy to
install, I tested this on 5 different vehicles with similar
results from each. It gets an E for effort, and 2 Stars only for
the fact that I was able to get +3hp out of it.

# 4 - Mass Air
Flow/IAT Module
Rating:

Overall Cost: $.10-10
There's not really a common name for these, but they are usually a
very small box with a couple wires available on various spots on
the net for $5-$15. The basic idea is that you will plug this into
your Mass Airflow (MAF) sensor or Intake Air Temperature (IAT)
sensor, and it will fool your cars computer into thinking that the
air coming into the engine is colder than it actually is. This is
done using nothing but a resistor that you can buy at Radio Shack
for less than a dollar, and that's it! It DOES work in the sense
that it fools your computer, but it doesn't improve gas mileage.
Whether it improves power is debateable too.
Where to Buy:
DON'T! I still consider this a ripoff and a waste of time, but if
you really want to try it, heres how to do it for pocket change
(the cost of the resistor). (Trust me, you'll want that 5 minutes
of your life back somewhere down the road)

# 5 - Fuel
Magnetizer
Rating:

Overall Cost: $10
These inexpensive devices can be had for around $10, and will do
absolutely nothing for your gas mileage. You'd be much better off
putting that $10 into your gas tank. This is an extremely tiny
gadget that you basically clamp onto to your fuel line and you
should magically get better fuel efficiency. The idea is that
perfectly placed neodymium magnets will align the fuel molecules,
and "supercharge" or "ionize" them. Scientifically speaking, that
makes no sense! Feel free to try if you're curious, but I don't
recommend them at all.

# 6 - Electric
Supercharger
Rating:

Overall Cost: $40-90
The electric supercharger is designed behind the idea of forced
induction modifications such as belt driven superchargers or the
popular turbocharger which is powered using exhaust flow. While
the idea is great in theory, I have yet to see one with a motor
capable of pushing air near as fast as the engine is already
consuming it. In other words, these tend to actually SLOW down the
flow of air into the engine which can not only cause worse fuel
economy (not the best feature for a gas mileage device eh?), it
can also damage your engine by causing a rich fuel to air ratio!
Dyno tests on a 1998 S-10 V6 indicated a 7hp LOSS and an average
loss of 3mpg. If I could have found a way to graphically represent
a negative amount of stars for the rating on this, you'd most
definitely be looking at it.
