This gave me a good laugh. It doesn't seem very plausible.. Kinda like those turbonator deals.http://water4gas.com/2books.htm?hop=baguiohar

AHahaha.
Okay, this is my favorite part:

Quote:
IMPORTANT: We are going to reveal to you fuel saving techniques unknown to the average mechanic - so don't go around asking "experts" who think they know everything! Instead, order my e-books (electronic books)

Thesefacts are not obvious. In every street corner you'll find an expert or two who may have listened to their schoolteacher but have never TOUCHED this technology. The only way to know:
(1) Don't listen to anybody!
(2) Read my e-books to discover how we are getting ACTUAL RESULTS right now,
(3) Test it yourself!
right.....let's NOT ask the people who know cars whether this is gonna hurt my engine or not!

All this is...it pretty much Hydrogen injection. The whole water jar electricity thing, is called Hydrolysis. But how it alters fuel economy is beyond me. The computer should still be spewing out gas, regardless of the hydrogen in there.

Oh, and they mention it in there a few times that this system will increase the power of your engine, which in turn reduces strain and increases longevity.....but, isn't any power INCREASE gonna INCREASE strain on your engine??? Which is why people opt for strengthened parts when modifying (like serious Forced Induction), otherwise the engine breaks down....Hmmm...I guess I've been wrong this whole time. Darn me for listening to my mechanic...and the people who BUILD my cars. I'm so dumb for doing that.

Funny, nice find!

something tells me that they will refund your money for the product, but nothing to fix any damage to your engine.

Also, they talked about HHO gas, which is not a proper name for any gas. It is either H20, or H0H, but not HHO. Also, no gas is release when you combine baking soda with water. Hydrogen and oxygen are released when you add electricity to water, and thats what this device uses. It will drain more juice from your battery than you will ever get from it, by about 4:1 I think.

The same people that comment on youtube videos...

The same people who warnings labels are created (mcdonald's coffee temperature, 409's "Do not use to clean contact lenses" label, etc. etc.)...


The same people that get nominated for Darwin Awards...

The same people who believe in paying 6000 dollars more for a hybrid version of a Lexus Rx300 only to use it for 2 years and drive it less than 2k miles (they saved maybe 500 dollars on gas...) and then sell it...

The same people who think the pre-pro's headlights are final....

The same people who think the gas filler cap will be on the rear deck...

The same people who think Steve Saleen knows anything about what he's talking about...

The same people who think Dubya.....errrr nvm... not getting into politics...


I can go on if you want though.

Seems that the page you linked killer is full of banners for the product and at the end he has a link to buy the product. The person is either sponsered by the water4gas entity or is the member himself. I can see his point as he explains it and what he states is true. There are little tips like that, which are not-so-common knowledge. I still wouldn't put the 97 bucks out for it.
