Don't forget a lot of the price of gasoline is the State and Federal taxes, when you add all that in there might not be as big a difference in price as you think.

Usually whenever something seems too good to be true, it is.

What was the name of that guy who found a way to run cars off water back in the 70's? IIRC, he was mysteriously poisoned and died shortly before going public with his knowledge.

The last line in the second link, the government will get it's hand in it and increase the tax.
This will cause it to be priced well above the current fuels and stunt or stop further research. Sucks, but as a poster wrote above, Big oil hates competition. They also have the politicians in their pockets. |

Average fuel tax per gallon in the US is 45.6c - so even if it's $1.96 that would be awesome! I don't think I've ever paid $1.50/gal. $1.9x is about the lowest I've ever paid. I'd LOVE to go back to that! If it ever happens, that is. |

I predict 3 things 1)It's snake oil If it's real 2)It will never be allowed for use in road fuel OR 3)It will be taxed to bring the cost slightly higher than that of ethanol contaiminted gasoline. |

It's almost seeming to me similar to that proposal to use aluminum beads and water to produce hydrogen.... it was claimed to be so clean and efficient! Yet, you'd have to empty your tank of oxidized aluminum pellets every time you filled up, then that stuff has to be refined again, taking tons of energy.
They gloss over how it works in the second article the OP posted, but it seems like it's another way to transport hydrogen. How is it extracted from the fuel, or is the fuel itself injected and burned in the engine? It's a little too vague for me to get real excited about. |

Quoted: It's either snake oil or the EPA will kill it. Most likely he is only talking cost of materials, not total cost of production. What he is trying to create, is 'global warming nirvana' - a carbon-free fuel.... The other question, is WHAT has he used to replace carbon? The Hydrogen atoms in his 'fuel' need *something* to bond to, other than each other... If it's not carbon, what is it... |

I doubt he's going to get murdered in his sleep by super secret-squirrel Big Oil Black-Ops Wetworks teams or some crazy shit like that, especially since the announcement has already been made.
That said, I'll believe this technology will give us $1.50 gas when I see it. |
