What are you guys doing to save gas ?

[dared2k]

i drive my 01 z28. it gets a hell of alot better mileage than my truck

Now that would be funny. I have the 2.2L(5ft lbs. of torque) 5spd too. I hope I don't have 4.10s.

haha well my buddy smashed my rearend, so I swapped rearends and got one with 4.10s. my rpms at 70 are RIDICULOUS with that 2.2

Has anyone seen/done this? I can see it working to incresase octane but I'm wondering about the long term effects on the motor. IF it doesn't cause any harm, it would be cheaper...with gas about 26 cents cheaper for regular unleaded, that comes out to about $5.50 for most truck tanks. The recipe at the bottom of the page costs less than that. Again, not sure about effects on motor, though. Found it while surfin' the web.

thats interesting, i wish i could see some long term results of using toulene or xylene. if i knew it wouldnt hurt anything i would use it. i can only buy 91 octane from the pumps around here unless i want to buy racing gas (101 octane), which is probably up to 7.00 a gallon now.

Interesting formulas . I tried the acetone thing for awhile and maybe got a slight improvement . It never seemed to hurt my engine . Gassavers.org is a forum I pop in on occasionally . Most of these guys drive subcompacts and have made just about every sacrifice they can for mileage . One guy claims 75 mpg with a Honda hybrid I think . They post their mileages on the home page . Anyway , just about every gas saving scheme or recipe has already been discussed including Stan Meyer's water powered car . This guy died at just the right time to create another oil monopoly conspiracy theory . Stan Meyer's Dune Buggy
A friend of mine is jumping onto this bandwagon and wants me to help him . Several people are apparently doing this over on gassavers but many on there debunk it . The principle basically involves cracking water and allowing the engine to pull in the hydrogen - the technique is called HHO because that 's what you're getting out of the water . Some claim 20 to 30 % increase in mileage . Who knows ? I'm going to get on there and ask them about this link you posted but you can search for it in their site yourself .
