Just look at the Facts here.
Ignorance get you no where, like in your example, a little data would help to make a real assessment; Is the bottom of the cliff in Spain?
There are a lot of things going on with a liquid fueled ICE, some of them may have an eff improvement with HHO, maybe even enough to counter out the alternator draw. A charge at home system would clearly improve mileage, as it would be adding fuel to the equation, not much fuel, but some. The question still remains; does HHO in an ICE improve FE more than the added BTUs?
I would not be surprised if it did, though i highly doubt the same would be true of a natural gas fueled engine.
