Muscle Cars â€" Hydrogen As Gas? by David C. Atkin

Since the gas prices have been shooting up like a rocket, I think more and more people are looking for alternate ways to fuel their dreams of a muscle car, I haven't done a lot of research on this subject yet, but you can bet I will, from what I gather now, we still have to mix gasoline with it.

I am a fan of gasoline, don't get me wrong, I have not gone hippie on my loyal readers, I'm looking at this as a way to save money, and keep us driving our muscle cars as much as we want, from what I have read on the subject it makes more power on less fuel, and does not emit harmful gasses.

I've seen designs on the converters, and it looks to me as if they still need some work, but I think in a couple of years this could be a viable solution to our fuel problems, along with E85 we could have everything we need very soon, and us muscle car freaks don't ask a lot, we want to drive.

I think once we get cars running on pure hydrogen we'll really have a good solution here, but for now E85 is the next best thing, we can still have fun in our muscle cars, without causing whiners to come UN-hinged on us, and once again blame the cars for all the world's problems.

Which like any other idiot theory, is completely untrue, and uncalled for, these people just like back in the late 1970's and the 1980's are looking for a scape goat once again, and cars, and the manufactures of them are an easy target.

Once again I have went of on a rant, but I think that is out of my system now and I can get back to what I was talking about earlier in this article, which if you have forgotten is using hydrogen as gas for our muscle cars, I think it's a great idea, if they don't put a stop to it.

Hydrogen is a clean burning fuel, that from what I gather is making better power the gasoline, which will make it an obvious hit for the muscle car freaks, of which I can proudly say I am one, and no matter what happens I will always be one.

The HHO is a combination of gasoline and water, of which the converter creates hydrogen form, and then they are combined and run as fuel, safely creating from 20 to 50% better fuel mileage, and better power at the same time, it's a great idea, now let's take it all the way guys.

I love cars, and I will always come to their defense when it's needed, I was watching an interview with representatives of Obama and Mccain, and they were going after cars yet again, blaming them for most of our problems, something that makes me not want to vote for either of them.

Just go a head, and mess with what I love, and I will defend to the end the fact that cars are not the major cause of all of our problems with our atmosphere, I'll admit that everything contributes to the big picture, but don't lay all the weight on cars, and the automotive industry, it's just not right.

Things are happening that are going to make cars better on our ecosystem, if people will just give it a chance, don't drive the big three out of business making them retool their entire business just to appease an idiot or two running at the mouth, let history play it's card, let the inventors have a go at it.

By all means let us keep our cars, don't be trying to force us to drive electric cars, we are American , and we'll drive what we love, and real Americans love cars that are built in Detroit, and in the USA, and that is just how it is, so let's quit playing games, and just make things happen.
