Forget oil......how about Hydrogen from water. Maybe we will have a Challenger running off of Aquagen. Look at this article:
Water Could One Day Replace Gas

High prices at the pump have left everyone wondering if there's another way to power our cars, trucks and SUV's.
Some people have figured out ways to use vegetable oil, or other products to fuel their vehicles. Well, now there may be a new solution.
It's called "Aquagen." A Florida company is currently testing the new gas, which they make from mixing water and electricity. The process of mixing water with electicity is called electrolysis.
Denny Klein, from Hydrogen Technologies, says he originally planned to use his machine for welding, but when gas prices spiked he decided to try something new in his car.
And now he has a "different" kind of hybrid. His Ford Escort runs on a combination of gas and water. As he drives down the road the water turns to gas, powering the vehicle and using half the normal amount of gasoline.
Here's how it works: The machine runs voltage throughout the water, creating gas. The gas is cooled in another compartment, then dried. Once it's dried, you have a gas that is ready to burn.
What's unusual about Aquagen is that the hydrogen and oxygen stay connected. So you get the atomic power of hydrogen with the chemical stability of water.
Klein says, the water molecule is restructured when a tremendous amount of energy is mixed with a catalyst.
Aquagen stays at a consistent heat until it's mixed with something else, creating a reaction. The gas heats to the melting point of whatever it touches. It can burn a hole through charcoal, slice steel, and turn a brass ball to liquid. It also reacts to gasoline, helping run an engine before turning back to water.
Klein says the technology isn't new. He says others have tried it, but they used so much electricity that their inventions never took off.
But managers at Klein's company think they have improved, maybe even perfected the process.
Klein says, "We estimate it costs around $0.70 per hour to generate, and it produces 1,500 liters of aquagen per hour."
Steve Lusko works for the company, and says since this story first aired they have received calls from technology officers of General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin and the biggest industrial companies in the country."
So a plan that began as welding with water has now turned into a possible fuel that can safely power vehicles.
