Irrelevant Fact.
Your Metro is overloaded to the tune of 550 pounds.

Not in 6 months. Lost 50 pounds got another 200 to go by the time my sister loses 200 pounds and I stop carrying the tools I will be under the SUGGEST weight limit. The vehicle seems to have no problem handling it. Not even a little bit.

Irrelevant Fact.
It's illegal

Really? show me the statute how could you even REMOTELY POSSIBLY EVEN CONCEIVABLY enforce it. My guess is your quoting trucking law and not consumer car law. most people probably nearly all have NO IDEA there car has an upper limit or what it is. it sure is not 1300 pounds for the metro. Does not even fully compress the suspension.

Irrelevant Fact.
You are willfully operating a vehicle in an unsafe manner, and endangering your life, but even more importantly the lives of others, by compromising the design limits of the vehicle.

The design limits would seem in reality to far exceed what you suggest.

FINALLY a relevant Fact but off topic.
You seem to like to be abrasive while interacting with others, instead of simply stating your point and letting the reader draw his own conclusions. When you read something you do not understand you insert the "what is relevant to me" caveat and reject constructive imput.

No I reject input that any intelligent person would clearly see as not mattering. the POINT is to save money. talking $ per BTU is not relevant to this if it is not equal to $ per mile IE what we have to actually pay.

I reject input that costs me MORE MONEY (Fuel cell cars) without any real benifit TO ME and only benefits greedy corporations


Out of the Blue WTF Fact.
You have made some bad choices in life, and chosen to take risks, for no real benefit. Risks that affect any future employers decision to hire you for a better job.

Huh? where did that come and what reality is it from? Future Employers? Decisions that risk this? care to elaborate?

yadda yadday Fact.
Your responses are in violation of forum rules.

Quote the rules that were not violated against me first? or any for that matter.

Fact.
Back to the original thread objective, HHO will not increase your mileage, but you are certainly free to find out what we already know, even though you choose to reject any empirical evidence that would help you with your decision. The best output HHO generator will only produce less than 1/350 of the fuel energy content necessary to operate your vehicle. It's your money, waste it however you please.

REAL FACT #1 its fun
REAL FACT #2 it might work (you have shone ZERO and I mean ZERO empirical ANYTHING to show it will not.
REAL FACT #3 its DIRT CHEAP to try. about $25 if you already have a battery. I have wasted more money in quarters on video games in one night in my life than that.

IRRELEVANT Fact.
You claim to be in a financial position that severely limits your choices, but you still make choices that have no basis in informed logic. One of those choices is to consume fast food, when you are capable of making your own meals.

I drive 4+ hours a day most of the time. its convenient and its CHEAP financially. its actually costing me MORE MONEY to not eat fast food.

I have not eaten a single gram of fast food in what will be 8 weeks come november 18th. Not one gram. Not one piece of candy. not one tiny piece of junk food. I am 46 pounds lighter because of it.

Why?

Why What?

Maybe a lunch bag and a different vehicle, with fuel paid for by your fellow commuters would be a wiser choice. At least it would be LEGAL and much more SAFETY oriented.

I'm done with this thread.

Good bye. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
