I understand HHO is non efficient, but how does it compare to $4.00 a gallon?
Tank size and complexity is a key item, how much range vs electric car?
Batteries are expensive, 3 to 5 year life and recharge with electricity also.
HHO hardware lasts a long time as I understand it, unlike solar cells, etc.

I`ll look at your suggested links and contact a few folks too. Thanks again...


P.S. Decades ago I thought of tapering a VW bus rear to mimic Bucky Fuller`s Dymaxion van.
It achieved 80 mpg without fuel injection ( carburetor ) and no radial tires either.!
Bucky has always been a hero of mine, said all people should be living like billionaires.
The reason is the wealthy`s attitude of "The Just-Us Club". Poverty is caused intentionally.
Oh, where to even begin?

Batteries only last three to five years? Maybe in flashlights. My '94 Ford still has the OEM battery, and everything I've read indicates very good battery life for automotive hybrids and EVs.

Dymaxion is often credited with 30 mpg. That is quite a lot less than 80.
