    Well gas is officially at $5.00/gallon in Vancouver! ($1.319/liter)

    I crossed the line into Sumas, Wa and got it for the LOW price of only $3.69/gallon. ($.977/liter)

    This would fit with my graph hypothesis.

    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.

    We have had factory propane farm tractors, and trucks converted to LP gas too, but no noticable difference in power at all. And I know the Nebraska farm tractor tests in the 1950's and 1960's show the farm tractors engine horsepower output actually show propane at a stronger PTO horsepower. I know the engine is always clean with propane, and long lasting. But with cars, it is a pain to fill them, most do not like it. It is a good fuel tho.

    Yeah, you do that!
    Make sure you document it.
    Because I've never seen it work, you might be the first!

    If you can make it work, then I would really be glad & I'll give it a go again.

    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.

    5.62 a gallon here, in imperial measurements.........yup, it hurts the pocketbook!

    You guys have it easy!

    It has been $4.199/gal here for a long time, and now it has gone up to $4.879/gal.

    will do. we experimented in the past with them and the hydrogen gas that is created is definitely volatile. just a matter of gettin it built right.

    I've watched tons of videos and read lots of jargon on the hydrogen generators........ interesting concept....... but it always seems to fall flat. Keep us updated!
