Big fine if you do the installation and do not get it tested and not worth it when you get no better mileage.
I have $1000 for anyone who can make my Fiesta get 20% better mileage with a HHO installation that passes the same emissions test the car did when new. It's a 2011 model that has averaged just under 46 MPG for the last 4k plus miles.
Bring it on. We can both lay our 1 grand on the table and if you fail I keep your cash. If you succeed then you can keep my cash. You need to get the Fiesta up to 55 MPG.

Forget the emissions testing requirement and the requirement to install it on your car. Just make it a simple test of efficiency gain within the resolution of the measuring instruments. All of your logic points to the fact that there should be an efficiency LOSS. It should not matter weather the engine is a late model or a carburetor or a diesel. It shouldn't matter if it is in a vehicle or on a dyno.
Since science is in your favor, why don't you slide the odds to make the HHO guys more interested. How about 10:1? You put down 10 grand in US dollars and he puts down 1000. You KNOW you are going to win right? To be exact, you can put up a million dollars and KNOW science has your back, correct?
Attract the flies then swat them down.
1000 dollars is chicken feed. It attracts chickens - not flies.
