Talking of environmentally friendly gas consumption, my friend Carmen just came
 back from the philippines (that's where she's from), and one of her friend is
 this really interesting philippino inventor who's been perfecting a kit -- for
 the last 30 years -- that will allow a regular engine to run on regular
 tap/salt water through electrolysis. I just saw the initial promo video on
 Monday night, and it's quite impressive. 1 liter of water for 1 hour of
 driving, no emissions (other than water). Many car companies have visited this
 guy, but he's always felt that the deals they proposed to him were not in
 humanity's favor (rather in the company's favor, no surprise there). He wants
 his invention to benefit humanity, and especially his country. So he's
 creating 100 engines that he'll be sending to every country so that they can
 copy and develop his invention to everyone's benefit.

Anyway, we'll have a website up in a few days/weeks, or if anyone is
 interested, for a few dollars you could have a copy of the video. And if you
 feel you have contacts with influencial people who could truly help this guy,
 please let me know!

A bientot,

Philippe
