Better Fuel Economy (MPG) Tips2. Buy your gasoline in the morning. During the heat of the day, the ground tempurature is higher and the above ground equipment is warmer. A 25 degree tempurature swing from early morning to late afternoon can result in a 4% to 6% expansion in gasoline volume. Buying you gas in the morning could be like getting your fuel 20 cents per gallon cheaper. 3. Burn water with gasoline. This is not as crazy as it sounds. You can set up a small unit under your hood to convert water to HHO (Brown Gas). The HHO is sucked into your air intake and burned with gasoline. It cost less than $200 for the equipment and it is easy to install yourself. This is a simple hydrogen on demand system. There are claims of 200% MPG fuel increase. I took a chance with my gas hogging Chevy G20 V8 van that gets 18 MPG highway. After the full installation I got 25 MPG highway. Since the water is free, I did get a 40% increase in my highway gas MPG. No; I did't get a 200% increase, but my results were still amazing. This book tells all about burning water with gas. 4. Disconnect you air conditioner. You can leave it disconnected for 9 months out of the year. You disconnect it by unplugging the wires that attach to the condenser pump. On most cars the air conditioning pump will engage when you turn on the defrost. On some newer cars with climate control, the unit will turn on whenever it wants to. With the air conditioner off, you can experience up to 20% better mpg. Driving with your windows down on warmer days does not use the extra fuel as once believed. During the dog days of summer, you can hook up your air again. 5. Change your engine air filter every year during the fall. In the spring and summer months your air filter will plug with dust and pollen. Pollen is bad because it is sticky. No sense driving your car through the fall and winter months with a plugged air cleaner. A more restrictive airflow will cause your engine to run rich and use more fuel.
