Manufacturers are . . .

Sorry, but it is just not scientific enough to spend 18k on a black box.

If it were really this good, all major manufacturers would deliver their vehicles with a unit like this.
. . . conservative by nature. Major manufacturers would need a level of performance and reliability that current HHO tinkerers cannot achieve. TheCell is attempting to prove it's product's performance and reliability. Increasing fuel costs will provide the market pressure to look for savings. The low hanging fruit of aerodynamics, rolling resistance and weight, get picked over first. Much like what members of this forum usually do. Other than the lean burn Honda crowd, no one attempts engine mods due to the difficulties and the much smaller returns. Manufacturers eventually will start using lesser known technologies because market pressure will warrant it. If and when a technology hits the market is often not an indication of its basis in science. Fuel injection is a well known example. Development and application lagged even with it's known advantages over carburetors until fuel economy and emission pressures changed all that. Now it is an indispensable tool.
