    Even my One ton Flatbeds have 40 gallon tanks, and the 6X6 is 40 gallons, the GMC 5500 is about 42 gallon.

    Here's one you are probably interested in, Hopeak. Oil at $200 a barrel? Maybe. Could it go back down? It could.

    Ford has been researching the use of water as a fuel for cars.. according to Mrs. Ridge... She has a cousin that works for Ford and that is what he apparently is working on.. I have not read any news releases on it though..

    That isn't the re-invention of the steam engine btw.. it is using water extracted from gasoline I think, or a derivative of hydrogen separation process of some sort.

    Several of the main automobile manufacturers have special carbs or fuel injectors on some of their test vehicles that allow them to get from what I've heard, 150 - 200 mpg. I have heard of this numerous times. If they have this technology then they ought to market it.

    Makes you wonder if the oil companies own the car companies.

    I saw on the news tonight the sale of SUVs was down 70% and the resale value on them was going through the basement. De ja vous all over again. Only then it was Chrysler Roadrunners and X's, Chevelle SS, Shelby GT, oh yea, and my inline 6 chevy that would almost cause you to blink it accelerated soooooo fast.

    True story. My first car was a 52 woody. I paid $25 bucks for it. The starter and the master cylinder were bad on it. I spent my last $30 bucks to put a master cylinder kit in it and didn't have enough money to fix the starter. I had to park down hill every where I shut it off or have a few guys in the car to give me a push to get going. I sold that thing for $30 bucks and forgot and left a four way lug wrench in it that was worth more than the car. I really miss that lug wrench.

    My first car was a Renault Dauphine... I wised up and got a 55 Chevy Belair two door after that experience. I saw on the news tonight that oil is now at $125.96/barrel..

    Its called hydrogen. Water is H20 remember. The hydrogen is separated out in a fuel cell. All those hydrogen cars you see on TV, thats this. Well... this and the other way to use hydrogen, which is just as another combustable agent.

    Hopeak, as an Alaskan, what say you to more drilling?

    Personally I think plugin electric probably has the best shot of taking us off oil, though I think we should drill more now, its stupid to keep giving Chavez a big monthly allowance etc. Hydrogen is the most promising technology, but it is still too early I think. The problem with electric is of course the batteries. They're heavy, they're full of dangerous stuff that you can't just throw away, they wear out in a year, and they only last for 40 or so miles. Okay for a commuter, bad for a road trip. And powering a little 2 seater tesla sports car doesn't replace a semi or even a large pickup. So that technology, still has more to go.

    If... if someone could invent a perfect battery capable of infinite charge cycles and that experiences no charge loss, that would revolutionize the world right there.

    Default Run your car with water

    Ok boys and girls.. I don't know if this is a scam or what... but apparently, running your car on water is not only on the Yahoo news..

    Here is one of them... just google "run your car on water" to find the rest of them.. http://www.runyourcarwithwater.com/?hop=iweber This one even has an endorsement by none other than fmr.Pres. J. Carter... from the great state of Georgia.

    Hmmm. I think ONE of the reasons they put a fuel filter in there is to trap water.

    If this has an endorsement of J. Carter and it does not involve building a house....I'd stay away.

    Jimmy Carter, is a good "HUMAN" who tries hard to do good. But, He was hands down the Best "Educated" and the "WORST" President ever.
