Ya try having a 07 tbss awd and get 14 on the highway 3.69 for 92 here in Renton Washington. It just makes me love my bp festiva a little more every time I fill up , she got 25 mpg on the last tank . With only about 500 miles on her and the vics not working I think that's pretty good.

You guys are lucky, here it is around 1.54 a litre so 5.82 a gallon. Then i have to drive about 180km a day for uni about 70 a week just on petrol. Then the government has broken a promise to bring in a carbon tax which will make the prices go higher i say ANARCHY!93 Ford Festiva WA (project car)

Remember the conservation of energy? The HHO thing does not work. It takes more to create the gas than what you get out of it.
Hydrogen has three times the power output of gasoline. It'll blow a stock engine fast.
Propane is safer but has around 80% the power of gasoline.Previous:

But, frankly, it just seems that it something that can't be replicated easily & a relatively low success rate (kind of like Singh Grooves).
However, I've seen Aspire owners easily replicate cheap front air dams & get between 6-8 mpg more. And it doesn't take any time & research to get to work. HHO seems like you need a LOT of spare time to figure things out & even then, you're not guaranteed ANY success.
