I think it's best to wait and see if the Scorpion makes it to market. We need to see someone driving it around and see what they say. It seems like their gizmo is way different than the homemade stuff. I think they are claiming that they are displacing 30%-40% of the gasoline fuel. This is a "supercar" implementation, i.e. Tesla for HHO. It wouldn't be cost-effective for the rest of us.

(just my opinion)
