A car running on water is an urban myth. Auto makers produce what you (the public) want to buy. If you will settle for modest acceleration and a smaller car, there will be some very high mileage cars out in two years. There should be several cars that can get 80 mpg combined by 2010 or 2011.
Chesa J, your electric bill will not go up much at all. The cost to drive a mile on pure electric is about 1/4th the cost of driving on fuel.
The respondents below are not aware of some facts – It does no good to force a manufacturer to make something nobody wants. The way to “force” consumers to like high mileage cars is to make it economically attractive – so let’s add a $ 2 tax per gallon of gas. Brazilian switchgrass works in Brazil but will not grow in America, so we use corn which doesn’t work economically. “Old” people are not getting rich off of internal combustion engines, and in addition, they don’t want to. If that were true, then I would expect an immediate conversion to hybrids and pure electric vehicles in January 2009, when the Democrats are in control. Ya think that is going to happen?

I doubt it will be coming anytime soon.. as it appears we have been waiting FOREVER. Honestly, I think even if they make an alternative for gas that it won’t help too much with prices because they will gauge those as well. I was thinking about electric cars the other day as another alternative but then realized that all that electricity would just make my electric bill skyrocket which wouldn’t be cheaper than gas at all… I really don’t know how much hope we can have when it comes to transportation these days…..

incredible gas mileage is a fallacy. There is only so much energy stored in a given amount of liquid fuel, there is no getting around that fact.
Car companies will keep producing what they produce until they are forced to make something better.
As long as idiots keep buying Suburbans because they just had their second child, GM will keep making them. As long as there is a redneck to hang a set of fake testicles on the rear bumper of a F350 dually that he never tows anything with, Ford will still make them.

The big automakers are already producing alternative fueled vehicles using models we se on our streets here in the United States. In Brazil for example. you can purchase Fords that run exclusively on bio fuels. The avg. cost of Bio- fuels down there is less than a dollar per gallon. They don’t use corn to create the bio- fuels, no raised egg or beef prices like we went thru.
here in NM where I live we have a company manufacturing an electric car that charges in less than an hour and gets roughly 200 miles to the charge. They have even desing the photo-voltaic cell system (charger) that would make the sun’s light you never ending gas pump. But because we have no mandate for the oval office or the houses of congress this company has designed the vehicle to look like a vette and it lists at $ 80,000.00. It is actually even faster than the vet on the front end.
The tech is the, manufactures need to be forced there to make it happen.

The older folks have too much invested in the oil system. they will suppress any other form of fuel as long as they can to protect there money interest.
And Yes water is H2O ( 1 part hydrogen 2 parts oxygen )
The bomb America dropped on hero-she-ma was a hydrogen bomb.
So yes was will combust, but you have to have a pre-heated source to get water to explode in to a vapor.
Like a hot skillet with a little water put on it . It combust turning in to a vapor (steam) on contact.
So yes the possibility of using water as fuel has many possibilities to it.
The fact is the older Government leaders will not allow there nest egg’s to be harmed.
