San Andreas has interesting people playing, and Minecraft is a fad game, so you get all the people unfamiliar with gaming culture. Bad mix.


On topic, anyone?

So has anyone seen or even tried on their XJ a hydrogen fuel addon system? I've seen quite a few trucks with them and I'm told that MPG gains are approximately 20 - 30% which may not sound like a whole lot but would probably be enough to be worth the $1,000 or so for the kit

ahaha i still stir up a bit of trouble once in a while on accident. Whats this about a F250 outdoin a jeep? oh please. atleast jeep has stuck true to its nature of being able to go anywhere . It seems like ford and dodge and chevy 4x4 tech has only gotten worse the newer you get.. If anything it would be a jeep pullin his ford up the mountain after he got stuck at just the foothills.

Yeah same here. The only thing i know concerning hydrogen as fuel is that the technology has yet to be a successful alternative clean energy source....

It's not used as an actual "fuel" more of an octane booster. I will look up the company where I live that does it and post their website. But from what I have been told, it requires less gas each time you reach a intake stroke, therefore improved fuel economy.

I've never seen conclusive evidence to show any benefit, and I've seen tons of evidence that they don't work.

Whenever I have asked someone who has it they've never given me a clear answer so I had a feeling that it didn't, I just wanted to see if anyone had actually tried and was successful.

Now that i remember, Mythbusters did this on their mpg booster myths episode. Didnt work. Popular mechanics also found the same result when they tried it. Hocus Pocus
