No wonder I love my 6.0
...and yes, also, oil is not composed mostly of dead animals, not nearly enough bio-mass there, ever. Rather it is mostly dead vegetation...and...
...just perhaps from (constantly renewing) processes we don't fully understand
yet, but I am over my head at this point so...

If you don't like hydrogen maybe you'll like natural gas...

I stand corrected by Monsta. Well..I am tired..so I will sit corrected - he is probablh right - there is probably more..a bit more energy in diesel.
But diesel, as gasoline, comes from dead lizzards ( B - I - G dead lizzards )...and at some time sooner or later, we will run out of the gooey stuff that is left over from dead lizzards. I fear we red-necks have had as much fun with our petro. powered vehicles as we are ever going to have, and the future is going to be more complicated.
This is why I think we should bring back the "way-too-short" mini dress (dosnt ANYONE see the logic in that... ? )

I agree, what about hydrogen though

You guys, again, weren't listening. I did NOT say "dead dinasours"...I said DEAD LIZZARDS. But, it dosnt matter, at least SOMEONE had the good sense to recognize the IMPORTANT issue here, and post some photos of some cute girls in mini-dresses....!

Gentlemen - I salute you and thank you. Finally, I see REAL value to this forum. Ah...priorities - Parkland - you are a great man - hopefully, the rest of these guys will see your genius, and respect your fine mind.....
We have wasted so much time elsewhere in this forum discussing the various ways to get better use and safety out of our EX's. It is time to recognize the TWO really important things in life....( like what that girl is carrying on her chest...!)

I love talking about hydrogen,
it just isnt realistic to use as a fuel yet.
I wonder what kind of mileage you'd get running an engine lean with water injection? I've HEARD, that its supposed to be the cats meow, and that would be a cheaper mod, with real benefits. Heck, how about adding a turbo to the 5.4, and water injection, and running leaner ?!?!
Water makes the combustion cool off- instead of burning rich to keep temps down = less gas.
Turbo = recycled energy and more HP
Water ALSO = anti pre-detonation method for running lots of boost.
=
SUPER POWERFUL 5.4 WITH IMPROVED MILEAGE.

Ask any OLD WWII fighter jockey about water injection, it was very common for use during breif spurts at "Military Power" in supercharged radial engines. Old school man!

I will be running methanol injecton on my procharged camaro this next spring. ~850HP at the crank daily driven on 93 octand and methanol injection.

Every time theres a thread about hydrogen, or natural gas or some turbo or other kind of "fuel saving" device, we end up on the topic of adding horsepower !
Water / meth injection is a pain to fill all the time, but its awesome. I dont run it on my truck, but for high HP application its the best. Or, you could try running a gas engine leaned out with water injection. I'm planning to try this on a briggs n stratton engine.
First, i'll run a full tank of gasoline, regular carbed, and count how many minutes it runs.
Then, I'll adjust it to run as lean as i can get it to, with water injection, and again count the minutes it takes to burn the full tank of gas.
Of course, I'll also have to recod
