Increased MPG

[wpage]

Very Impressive MPG results!

Just did a little math in my head. I may be wrong here but....

9.4 mpg to start
23.2 mpg after the test period
they said that was a 61% increase????

If it's all true wouldn't that be almost a 150% increase over 9.4mpg????
9.4mpg + 9.4mpg (100%) + 4.7mpg (50%) = 23.5mpg (150%)

Nice math Florida News Guy!

Pretty interesting. Anyone have any hands-on expereince with this thing?

61% of 23.2 mpg = 14.152 mpg
14.152 mpg + 9.4 mpg = 23.552 mpg

Does that make sense?

Not really, by the Florida News Guy math above a 61% increase on 9.4 mpg would be:

9.4mpg x .61 = 5.734 + 9.4 = 15.13 mpg

I've read thru both websites. The hydro-4000 sounds like the better option, although more expensive. I don't see why you can't have a larger reservoir somewhere so you're not refilling the small container so much. There's no mention anywhere about durablility or maintenance. I'd like to see some long term testimonies. I've sent both companies an email requesting more info but I think I'm going to give this a shot.

My brother is a green freak and I talked with him about this. He's checked into it before but hasn't done it yet. He's excited to try though. He mentioned that the only issues he came across was a problem with the O2 sensors reading to much oxygen in the mix and the computer increasing the fuel.

Is there anyone else here that has any knowledge of the pros/cons of this?

Must be popular, the website www.hydro4000.com is getting hammered right now. Gotta admit that watching that news story has me more than a little curious about it.

One of the simplest and cheapest solutions to the Check Engine Light's generated after removing a catalytic converter is to install to o2 sensor spacers, available from any auto parts store, before the o2 sensor itself, effectively pulling the sensor out of the stream. I wouldn't be surprised if this trick would work for this problem as well.

If you go through with this, please let us know how it works out.
