Do pontoon boats use less gas than a traditional boat?

I am looking for a boat that can seat 6 people. No big water. Just Erie canal use. Looking for an outboard aluminum boat for short cruises up and down the canal with the family. I have no clue as to MPG on any style of boats.

Why does gasoline cost less than half as much as bottled water?

I just looked in a vending machine, a bottle of water is $1.20 for a 20 ounce bottle. One gallon is 128 ounces, so a gallon of bottled water costs $7.68.

I feel like high prices are giving it to me in the rear, and making me bring my own vaseline.
At least petroleum jelly is still cheap.

Why are we paying more for bottled water, than for gasoline?

I am talking about purified water, not filtered water (like Pepsi’s deal) that you can find in the stores for 50 cents 5 gallons. Purified or Spring water costs at a convenient store about $1 for a qt. There are 4 qts in a gallon. I am paying $2.40 gallon of gas in Georgia.

Can a 12-year old Toyota Corolla go much farther than the 300,000 miles that I have on it now ?

More importantly, do you think it will last another winter?

Last winter I tried opening up the windshield washer fluid container on my 1998 Toyota Corolla, it was only just below the freezing point outside (not too cold), but the plastic cap broke in two in my hand when I tried to loosen it !
I take this as a bit of a bad omen, when the car is litterally breaking apart in my hands !

Why is my car drinking more gas than usual?

Okay, so I’m usually good at researching but I think I’m going a little more specific and hope someone can give me definite possibilities why my car is drinking more gas than usual. I suspected it may be “watered down” gas, but I have been going to the same gas station for a very long time and had no problems till now. My story is: I took it to a place down the street for an oil chance and I was told I need a cleaning in my fuel injectors to get my mpg back up as if it was new. BEFORE the oil change visit, gas was steady for a long time, now the needle drops a line or two going only 3 miles home from the gas station. So unless these guys did something, all I can think of is that the float is acting up or it maybe just “watered down” gas all of a sudden. So any tricks besides a cleaning, or if there was a scam, how can I resolve it? Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it. Additional info if it can help: 2006 Nissan Altima 3.5SE V6, 44K miles, and a dirty air filter (which is another theory). Thanks again!

Gas station filled my bmw with water rather than gasoline?

Yesterday I went to the gas station to filling gasoline to my bmw 328i 2007. After I left the gas station my engine died immediately. Today I took my BMW to the bmw dealership and discovered that the gas station gave me water rather than gasoline. I have all the evidence since I have the receipts and a bottle of water filled with all the water the dealership mechanics were taking out of the engine.
I’m planning to lawsuit the gas station since the warranty doesn’t pay for this kid of damages and I have to pay 2500 dollars to fix my car now. The good thing is that I only put 3.6 gallons of water.
Do you think this is going to affect my engine in the long run and if this happen to me yesterday morning, I wonder how many people got screw like this all day??

Could more than one hydrogen booster damage an engine?

I would like to put a hydrogen booster into my boat and my 1998 ford ranger. I spend a fortune on both every time I have to fill up on gas. I have done a lot of research on hydrogen boosters. I have come across many sites of people who have made them and used them for more than a year and claim they are not the best (engineering-wise) but they last at least a year, before needing replacing, and they do the job by saving them on gas. I’ve heard, seen pictures and videos of people who claim 15% – 90% mpg increase on all kinds of different cars. Being that I have spent hours researching everything about hydrogen boosters, I am pretty convinced that they are not the best, but they work.

Why intro E-85 if the cost is more than gas?Maybe a cheaper and more ecological sound way is a better solution

I mean come on who wants to pay more for something that’s all ready too high(fuel for your vehicle)!!! I understand that it’s good for the environment but ,lets be real most of us are living pay check to pay check as it is.Even if the price of gas goes down E-85 will still be up there.Make sense to you it sure doesn’t to me.What ever happened to methane,electric or even hydrogen. Maybe the best solution would be an electric/steam engine would be best with the electric helping to produce the steam with of course water.20 gallons at 160 lbs.(water)doesn’t weigh much and theoretically that 20 gallons could get you 500 miles.With the steam being force feed by a turbine or some other device.the steam would be made the same way your electric hot water heater makes the water hot and produces steam maybe some thought should go to this?!

Is hydrogen fuel-injection more potent than hydrogen fuel cell?

BMW has made a hydrogen fuel-injection based car, meaning this is not a hydrogen fuel cell, but the same engine used for burning gasoline, but now it burns hydrogen instead. The car is found here.

http://www.cars.com/go/features/autoshows/vehicle.jsp?vehicletype=concept&autoshowyear=2007&vehicle=concept_bmw_7hydrogen&make=BMW&model=Hydrogen+7+Prototype

What I am wondering is, that if hydrogen gas when burned is the same potent as gasoline, then shouldn’t a fuel injection engine be more powerful than a fuel-cell electric engine? My particular interest if the two are different energies (battery cell vs. hydrogen combustion). If hydrogen combustion produces more horsepowers, then that extra energy could theoretically make up for the 30-40 percent energy loss in making hydrogen.

What would be the cheapest way to convert any vehicle to run on something other than gas?

Regardless of the type of vehicle, what is the easiest way to convert it to run on something other than gas? Anything at all. Cooking oil, air, hydrogen. Please help me. Thank you.
