The price of the goods we need every day seems to increase every time you visit your grocery store. Inflation is on the rise for over a year now. An economic downturn and a rise in oil prices is often blamed for this state of affairs. Indeed, the upward movement of prices is no more apparent than at the gas pump. With gas prices as high as they are, it’s easy to see why people are starting to seek out alternatives to save money on fuel costs. One of the newest fads out there these days is something frequently called water for gas, or “water4gas.”

Attractive as it seems, is it even possible to use water for gas? It is not technically possible to put water directly into your car to be used as a fuel. In fact, if you did this you would damage the engine and render your car useless. So does that make the water4gas technology a scam? In reality, the technology to convert water to usable fuel for powering your vehicle does exist and is quite viable, but not in the form that most people think.

The term water4gas is slightly misleading. The water is not the fuel itself, but it supplies the hydrogen and oxygen elements that react to increase the fuel economy and performance of the gasoline engine. Clearly, hydrogen gas is both cleaner and more efficient than gasoline containing ethanol and, in sharp contrast to regular gas, emits only harmless water vapor as a by-product.

The premise behind water for gas is the production of hydrogen gas which can be used by your car to burn gasoline more efficiently and thereby reducing consumption. By splitting out the oxygen and hydrogen atoms that comprise water, you theoretically can create your own source of alternative fuel to power your car. In fact, NASA’s space shuttles are sent into space using hydrogen fuel.

Most of the water for gas systems show you how to transform your car into a vehicle that is able to use water as fuel. You can find kits on the Internet and you can do the adaptations on your vehicle yourself. Downloadable water4gas systems are typically ebooks that provide you with a set of drawings and instructions to create a hydrogen gas converter system. You’ll need to buy your own supplies to build these systems.

It’s normal to be wary that untested or untraditional products could be a rip-off or not live up to the claims. Simply typing “water4gas scam” into any online search engine will bring up pages of information. There are dozens of sites that recommend the water4gas system as an economical way to fuel your car, and another dozen that call the system a waste of money or a scam. Interestingly, there are a number of on-line forums that include active and spirited discussions about water for gas technology from not only its proponents, but also from those who strongly criticize this technology.

Whether or not the water4gas system is a lie or the truth, gas prices are decidedly unfavorable. A tried and true way for reducing the amount of money spent on gas has not happened yet and people are still waiting for this to happen. The car manufacturers Honda and BMW are just beginning to design and produce cars that are powered by hydrogen fuel. Just in time for summer 2008, Honda is planning to release its first hydrogen fuel cell car available for the public. The Clarity FCX will be available for leasing only in limited areas of Southern California.
