There's water powered cars by water I mean tap water, not anything else.
these havn't gotten much further than testing cars they have been on beyond 2000 etc, the people who make them say these cars have much more power than petrol or any sort of fuel you could use.
I some how get the feeling this isn't running on water but something else.
here's a water powered car on youtube.

You REALLY need to read voodoo science.
The best video of a water car would have been beyond 200 in the late 90's went to a USA company, 2 guys had invented a new engine that used plain water, it was sitting in a 4wd wagon, they were talking about a water car being easily 10x more powerful than a petrol based car.
but alas it's the same deal as with ethonal and bio-diesel, some people don't like nor want these fuels. the UN is calling for these fuels not to be made and is trying to get them banned from being put into production in western countries for the reason that it pushes up world food costs.
my thoughts is that using these home brand systems probably won't do anything as the water cars use large blocks of stuff that actually deplete over time and you can replace this block (service) and your on your way again.
So yes I do see your point and also I can't see how trickling in a bit of gas would increase the power or klms to a tank of fuel myself, so I do agree with you as you could see in that video the fuel tank isn't all that small and doesn't sit on the back seat for ease of filling also.
The other cars powered with air has also been on beyond 2000 but you needed air stations as they use a super compressed air system, so you can't use a air compressor to fill up the air car, so there would be a need for air stations all over the place.
You also have steam cars as well, which have been around well before the petrol motor was invented, it just never took off.
eletric cars is another, but you have the major problem of battery life and then charge time, so you end up with hybrids cars with a normal motor plus a bank of batteries.
there are other versions of water cars which don't use plain water and also require a water station that you'd have to fill up at, this is what the big car makers are really wanting to dump out into the market.
The biggest problem with all of them is the OPEC group they don't want people starting to use other fuels so now they are starting to dujmp out more oil again.
The real problem I can think of is that just about everything always requires some sort of fuel station that you must goto just to fill/charge up the car.
There's been heaps of different fuel powered cars going around the place it's only a matter of time before one pops up in the market and sells like hot cakes.
look at LPG you can goto a dealership and buy a straight LPG car now so it is starting slowly, you'd have plently of people saying years ago that you can't run a car on LPG nor put gas into a diesel engine.
solar could be the next thing if they can get better solar cells happening.
