Yeah, "water" by any other name is just as wet.

Thanks for the tip.

Here are plans for converting a gas-powered car to a water-powered car:

That's pretty hard to combust water in a regular engine, *puzzled* I don't buy that

I am not recommending the plans; I just thought it was a curious website.

good! It would be a mess if someone did the actual plan,

Sure, you give pressure to water, HOW?

Yes, water can create energy, but the potential energy has to be somewhere along the line. For example, hydropower, which means a dam was built or similar kind to build water level to high enough, thus create pressure at bottom. With these kind of pressure, it turns the turbine and it creates electricial energy. So water itself is NOT a form or energy! Funny, Hydrogen by itself is actually a energy source. Usually mixing with oxygen to cause combustion, but I don't know how two parts of hydrogen mix into one part of oxygen could turn into water. But if you mix hydrogen, carbon and oxygen, then ignite them and the result is explosive energy! Weird!

Some of you may have heard of fuel cell research. It is actually similiar concept, but when done mix with carbon, oxygen and pure hydrogen (main indregent of fuel cell) and use them as internal combustion like regular gasoline engine. The emission turns into water vapor. I think what is really going on is to manipulate on the atomic level. If this is true success, we got PLENTY of hydrogen atoms in the world, and this might last forever. This concept, I am going to support, and hope this is success, and consider this better alternative to hybrid, electric cars.

All the reason to get yourself a Grease Car

Just go to a hick country like Tennessee and pluck one of the thousands of abandoned cars along the highways and convert it to run on biodiesel for a price tag of $400 to $1000. Also you can find free diesel cars at some recycler lists either online or printed.

And then enjoy free fuel from Mc Donalds, Burger King, Or Sonic fast food fryers. And its about 50 miles to the gallon.

And finally you can bare your hinds at Arab oil and the Republicans that seem to be addicted to it.

yeah i have heard that.. and its free fuel

cuz mc donalds, BK, or any restruant don't want to throw away the veg oil cuz it cost them money to disposal the used veg. oil.

but heard.. they cause pollution.. do they?

DeafSCUBA98 · 08-29-2005, 06:49 PM

i just had a dream last night.. that gas price here in america average price was $6.09 next year

speaking of Hurricane Katrina... this pic will increase the price cuz of that hurricane and holiday is coming around the corner...

javapride · 08-30-2005, 03:09 AM

yep hurricane's gonna shitkick us hundred ways to sunday

**sequoias** · 08-30-2005, 03:19 AM

It looks like the damage from Hurricane Katrina will be the most costiest disaster in the United state history because it covered Florida, Mississippi, Louisana and plus it's 2005 dollars.

The gas price today near my apt shot up 5 cents after it was been the same price for over a week and half, I think. It's $2.78 per gallon for 87 octane, up from $2.73.

08-30-2005, 08:55 AM

Here is a 3-year average gas price chart.

Hey I am not. My Dad thinks that it might go up to 4 bucks this winter b/c George Bush does not know how to manage our economy, and he still spends too much time on his vacation with no concerning our soliders in the war. He has the longest vacation in the president history. Who knows that something would change the price next year. Greenspan don't give a damn b/c he is extremely wealthy. Of course I understand that you were only dreaming about the gas price. Don't worry... Stay cool.

diehardbiker · 08-30-2005, 09:38 AM

Hey! in the past some of you blamed on war for rising cost of gasoline. Are you going to tell us that America is at war with Ms. Katrina, eh? Im somewhat confused!

diehardbiker · 08-30-2005, 09:40 AM

By the way, heating cost across all sources of energy is now at brink of blasting off the launch pad! WTF? This includes Domestic Natural gas, and these gas have NOTHING to do with middle east! So again, WTF?

FYI - We import natural gas too but not to the extent as oil.

Now, the domestic natural gas is produced in many places around the country and a some of it comes from the Gulf of Mexico (surprise!!!). The main culprits for the energy hikes comes from the energy Futures trades being made even as I write this. A Future is a contract that specifies how much one is will to pay (fixed amount) for an "X" amount of an energy commodity at a future date. This is how companies hedge the price in their favor when they predict the price will go up. They lose if the prices go down thus in a roundabout way it is a gamble for all involved with the contracts. There are futures for just about any commodity you can think of...FYI.

Right now, the prognosticators are predicting we won't have enough natural gas stored for the upcoming winter and thus the rapid increase in the prices. One of the reasons is the holdup caused by Katrina as they had to shut down some of the production. Obviously, winter is not here but it is coming and they know we need to have stored to get everybody through in a comfortable fashion and right now they are not seeing that with this shutdown. We will see if they are proved right.

A slight 15% increase in NO2 emissions yet everything else is like 90% less than what arab oil emissions is like.

We're already screwing the atmosphere with oil industry emissions and mother nature does come back with vegenance.

u're right its nothing to do with middle east... now the gas price will increase because the oil refinarys in louisana are damaged from hurricane katrina.

**sequoias** · 08-31-2005, 02:10 AM

$2.83 right now, and still climbing!

$3.09....thank god I have a compact car. SUV drivers will go bye bye with their budgets, we expect to see a spike of divorces because of budgets (joke)

Not much choice, huh? I hope u have a great labor weekend, though.

BabyAngel · 08-31-2005, 08:26 AM

It have been so strange this past week because the gas price got down until the hurricane hits, it have been going up about 10 cents yesterday and now this morning I went to the store, I just saw about 10 cents back down again. I was like huh why it have been going up and down back and forth. Hopefully it will go all the way DOWN after Labor Day!!

sablescort · 08-31-2005, 09:01 AM

All I can say about gas prices is.....

AAAAUUUUUGGHHHHH! Gas prices are driving me loony lately but good thing I drive 4 banger with 5 speeds so my mpg would be in the 30's. But a caveat if u fill up with 10% ethanol (think alcohol) cut in the gas, your mpg gets thrown out of the window compared to filling up with 100% gas.

I'll be lauffing my ass off for sure when the poor H2 Hummer driver has to pay 60 to 70 bucks to fill his tank next pump over to me when I fill up at the CITGO gas station. (side note I'm going to be filling up with CITGO gas instead of Pilot gas 'cuz CITGO is owned by the Government of Venezuela's state oil company, PDVSA, and the profits from CITGO gas/oil sales goes to benefit Venezuela's poor instead of my gas money going to line the ****ing Exxon/Mobil/BP/Texaco/Chevron fat cats' pockets!...Viva Chavez!) go over to http://www.citgo.com/AboutCITGO.jsp

Socioeconomic development

PDVSA is genuinely committed to Venezuela's social and economic development, and is especially active in projects focused on health, education, environment, and local economy.
The State oil company has also begun a review aimed at integrating Social Investment into the framework of a vision of Corporate Social Responsibility that works directly with communities, and emphasizes the development of local small and medium-sized enterprises in oil-related and other sectors, especially cooperatives and microenterprises.

No wonder Pat Robertson had issued a 'Fatawa' on Chavez because Pat's oil buddies got real stiffed.

nozobo · 08-31-2005, 01:39 PM

If it's true about labor day hitting at 3.09... I figure if SUV have a 30 gallon. So I figured out at 3.09 per gal multiply by 30 gallong... Total is freaking 92.70 that's *bleep* outrageous! Thank god for compact car!

Yeah, nobozo, wouldn't that be a hoot when you see the faces of those H2 Hummers, Ford Excursion, Chevy Suburban and Caddy Escalade drivers when they see the total price for a full tank of gas!

Oh shit I just got back home 5 minutes ago. I passed by a gas station putting up $3.09 on their board for REGULAR unleaded! When I left home this morning, and filled my car up at the CITGO this morning, the going price was 2.79! That was 30 cents in the span of 3 hours!

This is getting Nucking Futs totally!

Yeah, Nesmuth, tell that to me. Chavez has more Christian compassion than that SOB Pat Robertson! That was why I switched to CITGO to show support for Chavez's policies out there in Venezuela. At least I know that my gas money is going to do a lot for the people who live in Venezuela.
