Car Sharing: Now A Revolution in Personal Transportation in Japan

Jonas — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 13:29:44 +0000

Car sharing is a remarkable innovation in personal transportation in the 21st century.

This mode of personal transportation involves a short-term arrangement of renting a car. It is an urban car rental service wherein the customer who is a registered member can make reservations for a rental car for a period of time, as short as one hour. The customer can pick up the car at the designated place in their vicinity, and can return that car there.

This trend is now slowly increasing in popularity in Japan, specifically in the urban areas, though it is not as widespread as in North America and Europe.

Mazda Car Rental Corp. has been lengthening its horizons on car sharing industry throughout Japan starting July 2006.

Ishikawa Prefecture of Kanazawa City is the first full-blown car sharing system in the provincial operation and was launched last 2006 of November with the partnership of Hokuriku Railway Co., Hokusei Industry CO., the city management and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. In here, pre-registered customers can receive points that could be utilized as fares in the bus. Renting environmentally-friendly cars is preferred, for sure!

The largest group in the car sharing industry, the Ornix Auto Corp., began a novel service last 2007. They focused on car sharing service for dwellers in the condominium. They opened their services at five condominium residence structure and plans to offer it to seven buildings by the end of 2009.

All people who are getting tired of the high imported gasoline prices do have other options. At the National Alternative Fuel Vehicle Day Odyssey, you will come face-to-face with the products, devices, and tools that can help you save a lot of money on gas. Or better yet, just ditch your gas guzzling vehicle altogether and switch to the one that can run on alternative fuel instead.

Scheduled to kick-off on September 26 in Fairmont, this nationwide biennial event will grace the Technology Park Research Center this time around. The venue will be streaming with information, latest technologies, and formal education about non-gasoline options for your car. The event will also feature products and items that are currently available in the market right now, including the ones that are yet to be released.

Products that will be on display are alternative fuels like compressed natural gas and biodiesel, among many others. There will be many companies and organizations that will participate in the event. There will also be a showroom of vehicles that can run on plug-in electric outlets.

The previous Alternative Fuel Odyssey was held in 2006 and it had attracted more than 40,000 attendees. That event was participated by 60 sites and 3 countries. Set to be a week-long occasion, the event will feature a total of 85 simultaneous events all across the US and Canada.

The Concept behind HHO Gas

HHO gas is getting a lot of raves right now. It is the technology that uses water as an additive to gasoline to achieve better mileage and lesser emissions. The idea is to boil water so that hydrogen and oxygen gasses are produced. Hydrogen gas is then added to gasoline so that it would burn more efficiently. The result? A huge savings on your gasoline consumption.

To make this happen, there’s a need to install two containers that will hold the water to be processed. Expect bubbles and vapor inside the container, as you look at it under the hood of your car. Technically, the devices’ job is to make the water evaporate. To install such devices and make use of the HHO gas technology, it would cost a car owner something around $400 to $900. But your car’s mileage would increase from 3 to 5 mpg so it should be worth it.

However, this new technology is still under the scrutiny of the EPA. Whether it should be considered merely as a gasoline additive or an entirely new engine technology is the big question. But interested car owners can try it now though, if they go to some private garage with mechanics well-versed about the technology.

How To Cut Your Gasoline Bill In Half
By Myla Madson

I don’t know about you, but with gas prices the way they are, I’m struggling just to survive. I’m a single mom with four kids, a mortgage, auto loan etc.

Spending hundreds of dollars a month on gas for my car is absolutely ridiculous! What really gets me mad is, not only have the oil companies driven the price of gas up, they are in co-hoots with the auto makers and the Federal Government to keep automobile engines running inefficiently by manipulating the fuel to air mixture ratio to convert the fuel you put into your car into only 25% actual energy for movement and the rest is unburned and blown out your tail pipe.

This inefficient burning also is bad on your engine, thus ensuring failure within twelve to fifteen years, if you’re lucky.

When I found out the technology currently exists to create a gasoline/water hybrid that would cut your fuel expenses by 50%, I was furious.

I’m not talking about hydrogen fuel cells either. I’m talking about a very practical and inexpensive system that separates the water molecules into what is called Brown’s Gas which mixes with the gasoline and allows it to burn more efficiently, drastically improving gas mileage while reducing engine wear.

Did you know that you can actually build one of these systems and install it in your vehicle in less than a day? And for under $150.00?

I was shocked to hear about it as well but actually saw it in operation. My neighbor added it to his car a few months ago and cut his fuel cost by 80%.

You don’t have to modify your engine either. In fact, you can remove the system in under three minutes…not sure why you would want to though.

I’ve installed one on my car recently and it really was as easy as my neighbor claimed it to be. I’m a woman who has trouble changing a light bulb so if I can do it, anyone can.

I’ve seen a drastic improvement in engine performance, no more knocking and my fuel mileage is way better. I’m tracking it over a few months so I know exactly what I’m getting but my wallet already feels the relief!

Want to build one yourself? I have a guide at my website that will show you, step by step how to make this hydrogen generator. It’s freakin awesome and the government can’t do anything about it! Got to http://MylaMadson.com/hybrid
