Ok, let me stop me there... They used a methanol reformer, not an HHO/hydroxy generator, for one thing. For another, would they not have been able to lean the mixture using just the methanol, without adding energy to crack it to hydrogen? If the hydrogen showed net neutral, would the methanol then not have shown a positive decrease in energy consumption, since it wouldn't require energy to prepare?
