EPA And Hybrid Car Ratings: What You Need To Know

When it comes to hybrid cars, they’re probably the highest selling items in the car industry today. It’s only expected, though, considering the ratings that the EPA or the Environmental Agency are giving them. Charged with protecting and safeguarding the natural environment, it’s the EPA’s ratings that really matter when it comes to choosing the right hybrid vehicle to buy.

What It’s All About?

Wondering what EPA has to do with it? Most hybrids these days that are for sale to the general public have to have an EPA rating and it is this rating that will tell a consumer just how much fuel is saved when it comes to a hybrid’s mileage.

These ratings are usually translated by the consumer into fuel efficiency and thus monetary savings. But more important than that, the EPA determines which cars are the most fuel-efficient, which ones have the least amount of carbon monoxide emissions, and therefore which ones are the fittest for the environment in general. Of course, this does not mean that gas-powered cars are not allowed on the road. Basically, the EPA ratings on hybrids help consumers make the right choice in car purchases.

But What Is It Really All About?

The EPA ratings system has always been around. In fact, at some point the ratings had to change with the introduction of hybrid cars. The EPA has mandatory fuel-economy tests that have to be carried out on all cars, old and new, sold in the United States.

These tests are conducted on about 15% of all cars. One of these tests is on fuel economy which involves city and highway cycles to see the result on what kind of usage cars have when it comes to fuel consumption. For the year 2008, these tests have changed in many ways and the EPA has revised testing methods because of the introduction of hybrid cars.

Hybrid car ratings are now calculated using a dynamometer and these results will be shown on labels that will be attached to the vehicles to show what fuel economy estimates there are per model. These ratings make it easier for the consumer to pick the most fuel-efficient hybrid car.

These days, it’s no big secret that hybrid cars are the most fuel-efficient and it’s one of the reasons why these cars are becoming more popular. But fuel efficiency is a different story with all the model cars that are coming out of the assembly line from various car manufacturers. Some of the most fuel efficient includes the Ford Focus with an EPA rating of 24 miles in the city/35 miles on the highway to the gallon, the Honda Fit with a rating of 33 miles in the city/38 miles on the highway, and the Honda Civic with 30 miles in the city/38 miles on the highway. And these ratings are more different if those cars are automatics.

It’s these easy ratings that help consumers make the right choice, helping them to pick cars that suit their lifestyles. It is exactly why the EPA conducts its tests and comes up with hybrid car ratings, which is fitting since more people are now making the switch to the hybrid car.

I tried to show the basic steps without showing any machining, etc. The pipes are 304 SS, but 316 works well also. Part 3 will be uploaded after the cell is sealed and ready to run. I insulate the pipes from the Positive lead/screw by first coating the screw with 2 coats of liquid electrical tape. When that is dry, I put electrical shrink wrap tubing on the screw, making sure to leave the end thread exposed for connecting it to the center tube. The holes in the pipes that the positive lead screw passes through are twice the size of the screw, leaving plenty of room for the screw and insulation to fit through......if your holes are aligned.

HHO gas cars are making the news and one has to wonder if this type of technology can reduce our dependence on foreign oil. HHO gas car kits are available online and are claiming an increase in gas mileage up to 100%. When you do a little more research it appears that 15 – 40% seems more typical.

You could always purchase a hybrid car but these cars are not cheap costing thousands of dollars.

With oil consumption increasing globally and through 2009 it is expected that consumption in the U.S. should increase about 0.8 percent as younger drivers come on board. As third word countries oil consumption increases it will put a further burden on current supplies. The good news is that current supplies will continue to output more barrels per day and add to the current supply so overall this effect will be that supplies will not continue to get any tighter. It is expected that current oil and gas prices will be somewhat stable through 2009. Even with gasoline prices remaining about the same it still put s burden on many drivers who have a limited budget. This will leave many drivers looking for alternative ways to increase gas mileage or cut back on driving and investigate other methods of improving gas mileage such as HHO gas car kits.

With current government figures showing that about 60% of our crude is imported even a minimal increase in gas mileage of 15% would be enough to tip the scales and reduce foreign oil imports. Couple HHO technology with other hybrid car technologies and it would be very possible to seriously reduce our dependence on foreign oil. It would also have an impact on global warming due to the reductions in emissions.

With gas prices increasing every time you fill up many people are looking for alternatives to save fuel. HHO gas car kits are becoming more popular as an alternative energy source. Many call an HHO cell a hydrogen fuel cell or hydrogen on demand system. HHO gas is converted from water, a catalyst, and electrical current. Water for gas is often the claim. This would be great to take an existing technology to convert your current car to a water burning vehicle.

Water as gas has been known to help keep an engine clean less carbon buildups, better emissions including an increase in horsepower and less trips to the gas pump. Keep in mind though that it is only being use as a supplement that is introduced into the intake manifold and burned along with gasoline or diesel. In many cases HHO gas cars are still considered experimental.

A typical HHO gas hydrogen on demand fuel cell may do well on a small four cylinder engine. As the size of the engine increases in liters it is not uncommon to see kits or experimenters use more cells. I have seen kits for 8 cylinder five liter engines with 4 to 6 HHO fuels cells. In all it also depends on the efficiency of the hydrogen cell on how many may be used.

There are many forums online that focus on the use of HHO gas hybrids and the use of homemade fuel cells. These fuels cells have been installed on cars, truck, motorcycles even lawnmowers. Most HHO or browns gas forums focus on creating more gas from a HHO fuel cell. With as much interest and the buzz online concerning hydrogen on demand systems it is no wonder that homemade HHO gas generators have become popular with do it yourself hobbyists and experimenters. Home made HHO gas car kits can often be manufactured for under a $100 and installed in less than an hour and removed in minutes. These conversions do not require complex modifications.

They say you will be amazed by the new technology for running your car engine on water. Yet is it just a scam? Can a car run on water alone? Yes, but the technology is so new it may be years away before you can own a completely water run automobile. Inventor Stan Meyer has created a functioning water run engine, yet the road to production is very steep and dangerous.

The release of a water burning engine would destroy some of the largest companies in the world. There are many people who would rather see Mr Meyer dead then bring his invention to the world.

With engines run on water alone still being years away, there is an alternative. The technology exists today to create a hybrid engine benefiting from the release of hydrogen from water. Conversion kits are now available on the Internet.

Some of the benefits include:

Easy to Use

Works with almost all engines

Fuel Economy of 25% to 70%

Less polluting emissions

Easy to understand step by step procedure

Parts can be easily found

You don’t have to worry about safety, as there is no large volume of hydrogen to deal with. The hydrogen gas is extracted as needed.

The use of water is to supplement the gasoline. One quart of water is able to provide 1800 gallons of HHO gas. This amount of gas not only will vastly increase you cars fuel savings but also last for almost four months.

This appears to be the perfect win-win situation. You save on fuel costs, your car runs better and cleaner and you make a major impact on improving the environment. Conversion kit information can be found at www.exchangewaterforgas.com

As gas prices continue to increase you may be wondering how to get better gas mileage. If you are finding ways to increase gas mileage or improve fuel efficiency there are several do it yourself solutions that you may want to consider as part of your standard car maintenance.

A tune up could get you better gas mileage up to 20% or even more if a bad oxygen sensor is discovered. This is an extreme example but if your engine is idling roughly or hesitating and spiting smoke out the muffler then you should and get a engine diagnostic tune up and this could increase gas mileage and possibly extend the life of your engine saving hundreds or thousands of dollars in maintenance.

Checking your tire pressure could save money. Some people overlook this maintenance and it is best checked monthly. By keeping your tires at recommended pressure as outlined in your owners manual you can get better gas mileage of 2-3%. The net results is you could save hundreds of dollars of more because when your tires are inflated properly it also extends the life of your tires.

Driving habits could have a negative affect on gas mileage. Driving habits can include finding the fastest way to work or the route that is the most direct and has the least amount of stops to your destination. When asking yourself how to increase gas mileage this is a major factor. Check free online mapping services that shows you direct routes.

Do you use your vehicle or car trunk as a free mini storage? For every 100lbs in your vehicle you could be decreasing gas mileage by a percentage point. Some people are so extreme in this extra weight that they may only keep their gas tank filled half the way to reduce weight. Gas weighs about 6.1 pounds per gallon at room temperature. So if your are wondering how to get better gas mileage there are several solutions or methods you can do to help help improve gas mileage.

Plans for HHO generators can be found all over the Internet. HHO gas is considered experimental and there are forums that discuss gas devises that help increase gas mileage. As gas prices continue to increase you will notice that more gas saving devices and additives will show up in the marketplace.

With gas rising to new levels people are discovering ways to improve gas mileage. Many gasoline additives and devices claim to increase gas mileage. HHO gas is starting to get recognition and is making the news as a possible alternative for supplementing gasoline as a hybrid technology.

This hybrid technology can be used with diesel or gas engines and some are using it with success in other types of engines that or running on fossil fuels. You may recall propane conversions on cars and truck well this is similar but the modifications are few, less costly. This DIY HHO gas kit can be easily be removed and leaves little trace of its installation.

Most entrepreneurs who are constructing HHO generators from plans are claiming gas mileage increases of 15 – 40% some are suggesting more. When building a water for gas kit or HHO fuel cell you should be able to construct one in a few hours when you have all the parts.

Plans for HHO generators are can easily be followed by most people and can be considered a weekend project. Depending on the plans most of the parts can be found around the house, garage or around town.

When you have completed a HHO fuel cell consider testing it before placing it on the engine to make sure it is producing HHO gas. Often there is plenty of room under the hood of a car, truck or vehicle. In some cases more HHO cells are sometimes added to further increase gas mileage.

When you think about a vehicle specified to optimize fuel economy, the SUV does not necessarily jump to mind right away! Quite the contrary, they are heavier on gas in general (at least that is the perception of most, including drivers, fellow road-users and owners).

Managing the costs and rising prices of gas at the pumps is a top priority for most these days. You just have to look at some of the automakers struggling in this category to attract any consumer interest right now, due to the low SUV fuel economy value proposition they provide. For most (even prospective buyers) drivers of SUV’s the comforts afforded and the cost you have to fork out in terms of less miles per gallon or lower fuel economy is just not worth it anymore. It hurts at the pump to fill up your SUV.

Optimizing your SUV fuel economy is no longer a luxury, it is a necessity to avoid the pain at the pump. How specifically a vehicle or even sport utility is specified out and driven is how you get the best fuel economy overall. You need the best of both these worlds – both design and use to make the most of SUV fuel economy.

Many driving and handling tips in general, will also improve the fuel economy of any other vehicle you drive, but even more-so on the SUV’s.

The HUMMER HX concept may ride similar to its predecessors but there are big differences -- including its size and fuel source. The vehicle, which made its debut at the 2008 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, is smaller than the brand's current models, measuring 171 inches long, 81 inches wide and 72 inches tall. The HUMMER HX concept also downsized its fuel-consumption, running on a 3.6L V6 engine that can burn E85. General Motors reports three designers, fresh out of school, sketched the vehicle before it was put into production. The vehicle also features a built-in, forward-facing camera that drivers can use to record their off-road excursions, and then replay on the monitor located inside the SUV. While the HUMMER HX concept does not include a radio, it does contain speakers that enable drivers to plug in their MP3 players or other similar devices.

Hybrid v Diesel Smackdown: Chevy Hybrid vs Mercedes Diesel

www.edmunds.com 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid vs. 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL320 CDI No one's talking about it, but the 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid and 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL320 CDI are the two most fuel-efficient full-size suvs on the market. We guess that makes Paris Hilton, proud owner of a 2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid, the hybrid Tahoe's twin, a forward-thinking early adopter at the vanguard of the green car movement. Truthfully, calling either of these suvs "green" might border on an insult to the color, not to mention the movement. These are still large, comfortable vehicles with more torque than the average commuter needs and more seats than most families will use, perfect for vacations but decadent in daily life. But these vehicles are more reasonable when you consider that the four-wheel-drive 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid earns an EPA rating of 20 mpg city/20 mpg highway, and the all-wheel-drive 2008 Mercedes-Benz GL320 CDI rates 18 mpg city/24 mpg highway. This works out to a combined rating of 20 mpg for both suvs — a big achievement for a full-size sport-utility. When it comes to large sport-utilities, think of this as a practicality test for hybrid and diesel. In other words, if you want to drive something big without feeling bad, this is what it's all about.

CHECK OUT THE X6 HYBRID SPY ARTICLE: www.edmunds.com First shown as a concept at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show, the 2010 BMW X6 Hybrid is now headed for production. Far from a fuel-sipping economy car, this gasoline-electric hybrid is designed to take the edge off fuel costs without giving up much in the way of SUV practicality or performance. Prototypes spotted in Death Valley reveal few significant styling changes from the recently introduced X6 other than an obvious bulge in the hood. Subsequent photos show a maze of electrical connections beneath the protruding sheet metal. All the extra hardware is necessary to control what's expected to be a two-mode hybrid system similar to what's found in gm's current Tahoe and Escalade Hybrid suvs. BMW partnered with GM and Daimler in the development of the system. The two-mode system essentially combines electric motors with a sophisticated automatic transmission and traditional gasoline engine. It is able to provide pure electric power like a Prius, but most of the time it's a mix of both gasoline and electric power. A fuel mileage improvement of around 10-15 percent is about all you can expect given the added weight of the hybrid system's batteries combined with the X6's already substantial curb weight. With full production of the V8-powered X6 just now starting to ramp up to full speed, the introduction of the 2010 BMW X6 activehybrid (as BMW calls it) is probably at least a year away. Expect a substantial price bump, one that could put this hybrid bmw's base price in the 000 range. So much for saving money on gas.

FOR MORE CAR VIDEOS & REVIEWS VISIT: www.kbb.com 2008 2009 Lexus LX 570. The phrase conspicuous consumption was made for vehicles like the Lexus LX 570. This hulking, eight-passenger SUV takes up a sizeable chunk of the roadway and its fuel economy numbers top out in the high-teens. It also offers all the luxury and style expected of a Lexus, making the LX570 an obvious choice for well-to-do buyers who need a large SUV or just believe that bigger really is better. The Lexus LX 570 competes with such luxury-SUV luminaries as the Cadillac Escalade, Audi Q7 and Land Rover Range Rover. Lexus hopes its rugged capabilities, luxury amenities and swanky style make the LX570 a success in the ever-shrinking SUV market.

Understanding your SUV and how it works, is designed and functions at its best, will help you make the most of your SUV fuel economy.
You can put your own driving expertise and habits to work to further improve vehicle fuel efficiency and economy on your sports utility vehicle.
Ensuring that your SUV is in tip-top condition is essential as well to make the most of every mile dollar and gallon spent to travel the distances your specialty vehicle, style, luxury, commute and life demands.
Additives, filters and engine tuning can all help to get the most from your SUV in the fuel economy department.

By utilizing a gas credit card with rebate program, you might be able to optimize some of the mileage you ultimately have to travel. There are numerous on-going fuel efficiency improvement efforts by both automakers, niche specialists and owners/drivers alike to get more SUV fuel economy that impacts the bottom line positively rather than negatively. Aspects that affect fuel economy like aerodynamics, power train, chassis, wheels and tires (optimally pressurized and well-fit) and electrical systems, energy demands, drag and more all need to be looked at individually and collectively to make the most of fuel efficiency in the SUV category.

Smart driving can add as much as one tank of gas worth of mileage to your vehicle and distances traveled every other month, if you are consistent and diligent about it.

Air pollution is a problem today. One of the major causes of air pollution is the exhaust of cars and trucks that are powered by fossil fuels, and until just a few years ago, every car and truck on every highway in every country in the world was powered by fossil fuel. The scope of the problem is almost incomprehensible, but a serious search for alternative fuel has begun in earnest now and there some really interesting ideas floating around out there.

E85 Ethanol FlexFuel: E85 is the alternative fuel that is being promoted as the best thing since sliced bread, but you need to take a closer look. E85 is a combination of 85% ethanol (derived from corn) and 15% gasoline. The problem is the fuel mileage. Mileage on the highway drops from about 31 miles per gallon using regular unleaded gasoline to a sad 23 miles per gallon using E85, for the same vehicle. This one isn’t
likely to be the answer to the emissions problem.

Grass as fuel: There have been a great many studies done and experiments conducted about producing large quantities of ethanol fuel for cars from grass. Ethanol is well known as having been produced from corn, but it has also been produced from switch grass. Fast-growing switch grass grows abundantly in the U.S., Canada, South America, and Africa, and the results of the studies and experiments are very positive.

Saltwater as fuel: This is a very interesting concept. There are a great many hurdles to overcome here, but it has been discovered that, under the right conditions, saltwater actually burns. This was proven by John Kanzius quite by accident. Kanzius is 63 years old and a former broadcast engineer. Like I said, there are a lot of problems between getting saltwater to burn and putting it in the fuel tanks of automobiles, but it is an idea that is being pursued.

Took me a couple of hours to throw the parts together, just wanted to make sure everything was in tight so there was no room for vibration loosening things up. Please take note of the placement of the HHO-Cell, right above the exhaust header. That is why if you also notice, we installed a galvanized heat shield right below the enclosure. Just to make sure this doesn't become an issue when we try to calibrate our heat inside the hydrogen cell. Regards, and Thanks for viewing my video.. --sirhoax

Come and see what HHO does to your engines! Yes this is what it does!!! --------------------- The torch end (right) is a browns gas machine torch not lit, as shown in: HHO in Action - Cut Solid Steel with Water, in my list of videos. Same torch, just messing around with HHO. --------------------- Also since this was done with a 2 cycle motor we had to spray in lube through the carb and then play with the "Browns Gas Machine" torch. --------------------- Nobody talking in this video because we are all mutes. Actually a couple of use can't keep our mouths closed to save our lives, so we decided silence was golden so you could hear the engine actaully running on this with no other fuel being used (you can tell as soon as we take the torch away from the carb inlet the engine stops). --------------------- Of course with 2 cycle engines lube is needed or failure will result. We sprayed a small amount of wd-40 before running this video into the carborator intake hole.

Just going over a design for a flash back arrestor. Some people have been asking questions related to flash back arrestors when using a hydrogen fuel cell. So here it is. A very easy technique to implement a simple flash back arrestor using fine bronze wool picked up from a local boating supply store. This will be used in future experiments related to a HHO mini torch, and hydrogen heating applications. There are three known techniques for flash back arrestors that are proven: fine bronze wool, cigarette filter, and a fine (white) fish tank air stone. ** Please NOTE ** 3/8" Tap is tapered NPT (National Pipe Thread) This is a safety mechanism that is MANDATORY in every HHO Cell design! Safety is our top concern. Keep your set-up legit and you can ignite the gas with-out concern of explosions in your hydrogen experiments. That in itself is a accomplishment. Regards, --sirhoax--
