Generally, hybrid conversions do not come cheap. Many consumers expect to drop around $10,000 to have their vehicle converted to a hybrid, which causes many people to keep from getting the process done. However, an RV dealer in Texas has managed to make the conversions affordable to his customers. Customers can expect a starting price of $1,000 for a hydrogen conversion when they go to Colonia Del Ray RV in Flour Bluff, Texas.

Chris Barecky realized that he was going to have to do something to rejuvenate his business after gas prices went through the roof. That is when he decided to take matters into his own hands and began offering the conversions. Currently, auto owners can take their existing vehicle into Barecky’s business to get a conversion. The business converts both cars and trucks.

For the conversion, Barecky uses an HHO generator. Once placed under the hood of a vehicle, the generator uses electrolysis to produce hydrogen and oxygen. The emissions smell like vinegar, and are said to be much better for the environment than the emissions of a non converted vehicle.

Barecky even claims that the oil does not have to be changed as often on the hydrogen converted vehicles. He says that it is a cleaner operating system, so there are many benefits to using this kind of vehicle.

Currently, there is a debate over the safety of such conversions. There have been people in the auto industry who have spoken out against Barecky’s conversions, stating that there have not been enough tests done on the conversions. Some people claim that Barecky is making a quick buck off of the current fuel price hysteria.

Barecky stands by his conversions, though. He says that it gives his customers an affordable solution to the gas crisis, and also gives him needed business. He feels that his conversions will help the people of Texas get back on the roads instead of worrying about the prices of gas.

Thus far, Barecky’s conversions have been a success. He notes a truck that he converted that went from 12 to 18.5 gallons. Because of the lower cost of Barecky’s conversions, he believes that the increased mileage will pay for itself quickly.
