It's now possible to modify your car to save gas by using water.
Gas mileage can now be increased up to 100% by installing a do-it-yourself hydrogen-on-demand system on your vehicle.
Electricity from your battery is used to separate water into a gas called "HHO" (2 parts hydrogen + 1 part oxygen). HHO, also called Brown's Gas or Hydroxy, burns beautifully and provides TONS of energy. This partial use of water saves money, produces a smoother running engine and also reduces emissions.
