Saved Pennies How to save your money one step at a time

Some people claim that a miraculous new technology called HHO can dramatically reduce the amount of gas used in your car. The idea is to use electricity from the car’s alternator to separate hydrogen and oxygen from water. This gas, called Brown’s gas, or HHO, is then fed back into the fuel mixture which is then fed into the internal combustion engine. Supposedly, HHO make the burning of gas more efficient, and thus lowers the gas mileage of the car. This all sounds reasonable; there are some big questions that remain to be answered.

Why isn’t HHO made by any major car manufacturer?

Ford, GM, Toyota, Chrysler, you name it. No major automobile manufacturer has ever acknowledged HHO as a legitimate and proven technology. People who sell HHO related products have many excuses. Some say that the car companies are involved in some conspiracy theory with the gas companies. Unfortunately there is no evidence for this. Instead, what we see is that cars with higher gas mileage sell better, thus creating incentive for car makers to create low gas mileage vehicles. Other HHO sellers say that HHO is so new that it hasn’t been incorporated into vehicles yet. This argument is laughable, especially since scammers have been selling HHO products for years.

How can such a small amount of HHO gas improve gas mileage by so much?

This is another fun little question that HHO sellers have a lot of trouble answering. Electrolysis doesn’t make very much HHO. In fact, you would need a huge HHO system in order to produce barely enough gas to power a lawnmower on idle. Now think about this for a second; how can such a miniscule amount of HHO gas be enough to make any noticeable difference in a car engine? The answer is that it can’t.

Usually, it costs less money to make your own pasta sauce, but it’s oh so much easier to open a bottle! The two leading types of Pasta sauce are Prego and Ragu, and like most choices in life, there is a price difference. Generally, Ragu is anywhere from 20 to 40 percent cheaper than Prego, But there’s a catch. While we all want to save money, sometimes we get what we pay for. As a college student a few years ago, I ate a lot of pasta mainly because it was easy to make. What I’ve found is that Ragu is extremely watered down when compared to Prego. It may cost less, but it contains much more water and much less flavor than Prego. The flavoring for Ragu is little more than a joke. For example, you can buy a bottle of Ragu flavored with meat, but you will be disappointed to find that there is hardly any meat at all in the sauce! Seriously, you can eat an entire portion of meat flavored Ragu and never even come across one little morsel of meat. In short, saving your money is one thing, but there’s no hard decision to make between Ragu and Prego. Prego pasta sauce is simply superior in taste and texture. So the next time you’re shopping at your local grocery store, remember that sometimes it’s better to pay a little more for a vastly superior product.
