We have transformed regular vehicles into hybrid-like vehicles for only 4%
of a hybrid cost.  Not only that, the horse power is increased nearly 2X.

Although we got 60-65mpg on our 2-ton Mercedes-Benz C280, we only claim
50mpg.  On a bad traffic day it's doing 42mpg while a hybrid doing
25-32mpg.  Over 20,000 miles have been tested.  Please prove us wrong by
bringing your hybrid to compare, we'll give you a special discount for
helping us help America, please email FreeEnergy@extra150miles.com to
participate in a comparison (for Seattle hybrid owners only).

PS.  In terms of power, we beat all BMW's series, and toe-to-toe with 2006
Dodge Charger Police.  The best of all, we save fuel by as much as 2X.

Thank you for helping America reducing foreign oil dependency.

Good for you, I hope you didn't order a rebuilt water-pump, sellers always
lie to you about their parts meeting the oem spec.  I went through Schuck's
whole inventory, they have the same terrible frictions on their
water-pumps.  Be sure you can turn the rotor of a water-punmp up to 18
turns.  3 turns is not acceptible.  At Optimum Fuel Systems, we find
problems like this for people, people who don't understand us call us
"snake oil", that's why we can improve the car's performance substantially.

I've never seen the first bubble go to blinking so fast before. ..... Drove
42 miles, and still on full tank! busyrosy, <<< Very poor...

THIS IS ME:
My green Mercedes-Benz C280, Full tank = 740 miles @ 58MPG  Drove
68 miles, and still on full tank! busyrosy, Power Equal to Police Car.
"Optimum Fuel Systems" did it.

Tomorrow:
Even if you can go with your 2010 Prius for 640 miles you''ll still will be
a loser.

I see I already beat you in both power and fuel efficiency.  Let's raise in
front of the medias.  Prove me wrong and I won't come back to bother you.
Deal?

Let's start from Seattle or Portland, going toward California, see who will

Today I read that the University of North Dakota has solved the hydrogen
infrastructure problem.  You can read about their work here:

http://www.undeerc.org/news/newsitem.aspx?id=340

I poked around their site a bit without finding out what happens to the
carbon.  Obviously making hydrogen from gasoline and ethanol doesn't address
the peak oil problem or the ethanol acreage problem, but it may mitigate
climate change.  At a minimum, solving the infrastructure problem will let
hydrogen powered cars move mainstream while alternative techniques are
developed.

But what exactly you are trying to compare?
A custom made car to a factory mass produced vehicle?

Come back to do the comparison if you make yours a factory produced,
available to be purchased and serviced car with a known in advance price
tag.

You just claim you can do thing without resources.  Any one with common
sense knows that's impractical.

Here's the thing, when I drive behind you, all you do to me is giving me a
bad look and accusing me of driving aggressive when in fact you're driving
a turtle that sucks all your gases.  The mistakes you made are:

1) You bought a turtle hybrid, unsafe, not enough room.

2) You made the Japanese rich because they do the same thing we do, they
call theirs a hybrid. We call it ours a Tune-up.

And yet again, you show that you don't know anything about hybrid
technology.

By the way, "Ted" had no chance in hell of winning that bogus law suit,
as clearly explained at the URL you so kindly provided:

  We scoff a bit because Honda doesn¹t set the figures on the sticker,
  the Environmental Protection Agency does.. We¹re no legal experts,
  but we don¹t understand how an automaker can be at fault for being
  forced to put EPA figures on a sticker. The EPA also admitted that
  the tests that led to 2007 and earlier figures were not accurate and
  instituted new tests, resulting in lower mileage figures.

  Mileage also varies due to driver habits, especially with hybrids.  
  Automotive journalists can tell you that driving a car at its limits
  for a week won¹t return the normal day-to-day commute numbers that
  owners experience.

Not around the world, but around English speaking people!

Sorry Mike you feel that way but who started first?  I was always nice with
you guys in the beginning.  She calls me fraud like someone accusing your
sister/mother of being a prostitute without knowing their backgrounds.

My company hires foreigners, we are not racious, and we're not picky about
little poor English. You guys again and again define good English = sign of
intelligence.  Is that wrong!!  I learned tehcnologies 20-yrs before my
english.   Then she goes on claiming her 1-ton hybrid car safer than my
2-ton car.  Why can't I express my view back ? She misleads people, some
people could actually believe her.

I hope you won't find the following statement antagonizing the world:

What normal cars get better gas mileage than the Insight?  The morons on
that site are trying to compare their own mileage with the Insight's EPA
estimated mileage, and that's an invalid comparison.  Further, the Yaris
and the Insight are different classes of cars, further making the
comparison invalid.

Oh, and I'm a Prius owner, and I doubt that I'd ever buy an Insight.

If you go here:

http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/sbs.htm

you can look up EPA and actual user mpg for most cars.  Look at 2008
models to get a good population of real owners' fuel economy
experiences.   The most efficient cars are:

2008 Model    EPA city/hwy/comb.        Owner mpg (# owners)
Prius             48/45/46                46.2    (104)
Civic Hybrid    40/45/42                45.7    (49)
Smart For2      33/41/36                38.5    (40)

So what have we learned?

1.  The top hybrids both get significantly better mileage than the
teeny tiny Smart car, and way better than any other gas or diesel car
on the market.

2.  The top hybrids both beat their EPA overall estimates, by a pretty
big margin in the case of the Honda.

3. GasSaver is a lying sack of sh.t.  No, wait.  We already knew that.

As was pointed out, a lot depends on the driving technique.  When I
drive my Fit "conservatively", I can usually get 32 or so in town.
When I drive like I normally do, I get around 28.

When I make my occasional long haul (like the 240 miles to Houston), I
can get 35 at an average of 75.

"These little cars"? Your so-called credibility drops with each post you
make. The Prius is _not_ a little car by any means, and it does
extremely well in crash tests. Ask the SUV driver who rear-ended my car
last summer how well a Prius holds up in an accident. Her SUV needed to
be towed, I just needed my bumper replaced.

Well, if he meant only that one, he should have made it clear. However,
from another post of his (you'll likely have read it by the time you
read this post), it's clear he claims the Prius is a death trap.

Wow, I can drive my GS-R like I stole it and still get 24mpg.  I don't
know how much more I could if I drove it conservatively because I have
only had the car 12 years and I haven't gotten around to testing that
yet ;-)

The GS-R still gets about 24 mpg at a constant 75.

I don't know what you're babbling about. I see that you're crossposting
unsolicited commercial material to three newsgroups, including the one
I'm subscribed to. That in itself is already enough to piss people off.
Are you really unaware that spamming does that?

Then I see you insulting hybrid car owners in general, and you're doing
that in alt.autos.toyota.prius, which, you seem too stupid to realize,
is a group specifically about the Toyota Prius, with is [BIG SURPRISE!]
A HYBRID CAR.

All the newsgroups you're posting this crap to are carried on servers
worldwide, so again I'll ask:

Do you think it's good advertising for your business to antagonize
people around the world?

Um, wouldn't that be an AC motor?  An alternator is AC, a generator is
DC.

The diesel-electric locomotive has done a great job in fuel
efficiency.  It might seem like a huge fuel burner, but look at the
ton-miles per gallon.

Now, if GM could translate their success over the last 60 years to

The RMS Titanic sank on April 15th.  US income taxes
are due on April 15th.  Coincidence?  I think not.

Joe,

Also read this page with open-mind, Press F5 to reload the page first.  If
you have experience with alternator torque outside the box, you'll see what
I mean.  http://www.extra150miles.com/frictions.html.

Any way, send me your tamper-free security sticker to seal my gas cap, if I
open the gas gap I break your sticker before video ends, that would mean I
cheat.  If this video won't help you then you should go for a 1-hr test
with our cars.  Nothing can teach you like a real life experience.  Theory
and reality are two different things.  Too much theories in the newsgroups.
