What are your favorite gas saving cars?

Question

What are your favorite gas saving cars?

Answer 1

hands down, prius.

toyota has a lock on the energy recovery system.

if you look at the city and highway mileage, toyota gets better mileage in the city than on the highway.

all the other cars do better on the highway than the city.

the reason for that is that the toyota braking system recovers most of the inertial energy when it's stopping.

it's so good, in fact, that Nissan has paid toyota to use the system in the nissan altima hybrid (which also gets better mileage in the city).  i presume that the camry does as well, but i've not seen the #s.

in fact, i've driven both the prius and the altma, and the latter is really nice.  lower mileage (34 vs 47) but it's much more car.  and if you look at the energy display, it's really obvious that it's the same as the prius.

Answer 2

Prius is the best currently available because it has the lowest emissions and it's a nice comfortable reliable car.

I'm also a fan of the Green Vehicles Triac and Aptera typ-1e which are coming out very soon:

And of course I prefer electric mopeds because they're even more efficient than cars:

Answer 3

any big 4x4 with that magic bag of sugar added to the fuel tank - a great fuel and pollution saving device to help all other road users and the planet

otherwise just about any electric car like the tesla http://www.teslamotors.com

Answer 4

let me start off by saying Hydrogen is a great option for the concept of free energy.     I built my first hydrogen cell about 5 years ago. Have converted over 50 vehicles in the last 10 years (gydrogen and EV) and now currently run 2 trucks (and another EV), my home hot water heater, home stove and home generator on hydrogen for free with caught rain water and the help of a $10 solar panel.  I offer a step by step DIY guide to walk anyone interested threw the process. You can find it at www agua-luna com or you can email me.

There are basically 3 safe ways to make and use it... chemically, electrically and molecularly, the first 2 being easier so I'll only discuss them here. The fallowing steps were taking directly out of a DIY guide I offer to those who would like to run their vehicles or home on hydrogen safely. The entire guide is available at www agua-luna com

    On demand h2 generators are a bit different from the Hollywood versions like seen Chain Reaction with Keanu Reeves, that tend to explode violently every time a film is being made. However when used in an on-demand system there is no storage of hydrogen and oxygen in its gas form, only liquid (water) and is only transformed into gas “on-demand” in small cylinder size amounts. It’s actually safer then gasoline as it doesn’t evaporate, creating explosive fumes in the tank like gas. the following were actually taken out of my $5 guide available at www agua-luna com

    Chemically

    1. You’ll need a 6inch x 1ft schedule 40 pvc pipe. With pvc cement glue a cap on the bottom and use a s***w on cap for the top. Drill a small hole (1/4inch or so) in the side close to the top, s******g in a small copper shut off valve. Place a few feet of stranded (food grade is good) flex hose to the valve and into the air intake of your engine (carburetor or fuel injections).

    2. Now crunch up a couple aluminum cans (beer cans, soda cans etc) and drop them into the pvc pipe, along with a couple cups of lye (Red Devil drain opener has lye in it, some Clorox and Drano’s do to).

    3. Then simply add water, s***w on the top and wait a few minutes.

    What happens in simplicity is that aluminum and lye don’t really get along so they battle, and as always the innocent civilians (water H2O) that the most casualties, by giving up its hydrogen and oxygen. This then builds up in the void of the pipe and is ready to be vented into your engine, by opening the valve. You may need to start your engine on gas then switch it off after the hydrogen starts burning.

    Electrical is a bit easier then Chemically.

    1. Simply take a small solar panel 1.5 amps is what I use ($9 at harborfreight.com), connect the 2 wires from the panel +- to 2 conductors (carbon cores of batteries work well, just be careful removing it from the jacket), but any conductive material will work ie. Copper, aluminum, steel, etc.

    2. Drop the wires into a water tank (I use 55gal drums), make sure they don’t touch each other.

    3. Drill a small hole (1/4inch or so) in the side close to the top, s******g in a small copper shut off valve. Place a few feet of stranded (food grade is good) flex hose to the valve and into the air intake of your engine (carburetor or fuel injections).

    4. Then simply add water, s***w on the top cap and wait.

    After a few hours tiny bubbles will form and rise off one conductor (that’s hydrogen) and even smaller bubbles that just looks like foam will rise off the other (oxygen). I don’t remember which likes the positive and which likes the neg hydrogen or the oxygen.

    The third method is more complicated and is what I use for my vehicles. It’s just a modified Joe’s Cell, there’s a step by step DIY guide available to walk you threw the process here www agua-luna com

It also covers the other 2 methods described in more detail.

Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at  www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

Answer 5

corvette because girls think that you're hot

Answer 6

I have been getting almost 50/mpg in my 2003 VW Jetta TDI since I bought it back then.   I saw high prices coming when two oil men were installed as POTUS and VPOTUS and as soon as I could afford it, got the highest MPG vehicle I could afford at the time.  The Prius was only in the first or second year of production back then.

In Europe, there are some diesels that get 60/70 mpg.  We can't have that here because the Oil Powers run the country.

Answer 7

Corolla, Matrix, Vibe

Answer 8

hummers

Answer 9

I don't like cars and I think that no-one should use them.

Answer 10

I've got a couple of them in my yard that haven't used any gas in years.   I'll sell them cheap if you want to take them off the blocks.
