For many, these high gas prices have become almost unbearably out of hand. The price of gas has reached as much as 5.00 a gallon in some of the busier areas of the country, and all signs to point to it only getting worse if relief is not found.

The public has begun demanding that more research be conducted on alternative energy sources so that a new form of energy can be used to help reduce the price of gasoline. But despite the urgent need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil as well as reduce gas costs, it does not appear that there has been much movement in alternative energy research. Fortunately, there are a few methods that any individual can employ if they hope to improve their gas mileage that utilize a technology that hasn’t even been perfected yet.

Recently there have been a few news articles and commercials about Hydrogen powered cars, but they do not appear to carry much weight. Car companies and oil industries have not bothered to thoroughly investigate the idea because at the moment the cost of generating hydrogen is simply too significant.

But cars that run on water may not be science fiction. In fact, there is already a way that pure H20 - simple tap water - is already helping thousands of people improve their gas mileage and receive the relief at the gas thank they have been looking for.

It’s true - technology already exists that allows individual car owners to run their car on water. By using a simple, homemade engine extension (which works as a supplement to your engine), you can improve your gas mileage from anywhere between 50-300%.

Using a piece of hydrogen that has been taken out of simple tap water, your engine burns that hydrogen as though it is also a form of gas, thus allowing you to get many more miles out of a single fill up. This allows you to not only save thousands of dollars, but also improve your engine health.

People throw around words like “conspiracy” all the time. The truth is, we may never know why this isn’t making more national news. It has made a few local TV stations, but beyond that it has not let its presence be known. It makes very little sense that the world would want to keep a way to run your car on water a secret from the community.

While it is possible that oil companies are keeping this research muzzled, or perhaps car companies are keeping this information a secret for their own personal use, it may just be a general disbelief that relief from gas prices can so easily be fixed using household objects. Whatever the reason, expect the news to hit the mainstream media soon. Relief from high gas prices cannot be hidden from the public forever.

* Get enough sleep.

Decreased energy and constant fatigue is usually the first sign of sleep deprivation. We all need at least 8 hours of sleep at night. If not, you will usually find yourself sleeping in on the weekends feeling exhausted.

If you are getting up early, then make yourself go to bed earlier at night to compensate. Just 30 minutes could make a huge impact during the day.

* Reduce clutter.

Not being able to find anything among out-of-control piles of papers is stressful. Clothes that you never wear, papers that are falling everywhere and useless items that you feel sorry to throw out can invade your space and take over your life.

* Drink 8 glasses of H20.

A quick and easy fix for better concentration, headache relief, and irratibility is drinking at least 8 glasses of water. Reaching the point where you feel thristy, you are already dehyrated.

Purchase a 32 ounce water bottle and fill it with plain or flavored water everyday. Put it in a place where you will see it throughout the day.

* Go for a walk.

Sitting in the chair all day can make you feel stiff and tired, and then you’d feel too lazy to get up, creating a vicious cycle of inactivity.
