Going that Extra Mile 
Just like many of their owners, most American cars could stand to go on a little diet. And just like eating less and exercising more are common-sense ways to lose weight, taking some pretty simple steps can help your car use less gas. For starters, keep your air filter clean and your tires properly inflated, drive the speed limit, and "back off the bling." (I guess that makes custom rims the car world’s Krispy Kremes.)
These suggestions come from About.com's car editor, Aaron Gold, who ends his list of easy fuel-saving tips with this slightly more challenging one: don't drive. "Not a popular thing to say on a car site," he writes, "but the fact is that if you can avoid driving, you'll save gas. Take the train, ride your bike, carpool, consolidate your shopping trips. And always ask yourself: 'Is this trip really necessary?'"
For more gas-saving tips, check out the Sierra Club's list of "Ten Ways to Save Money at the Pump."

I found instructions on how to turn your car into a partial Hydrogen burner.
I'm turning my 1990 Lexus LS400 into a Hydrogen on demand hybrid. I'm doing the water for Gas thing. What I'm doing is install 4 electrolizers to boost the effectiveness of the system. I'm starting out with 18-23 mpg. Which I guess sounds good for a V8 these days. I want 30 MPG or more...
