You don't need to make anything up, if you live in the right place. The OP, Sunburnt, lives in Arizona, where electrical rates are only slightly lower than the national average.
Electrical costs reported by eia are to the end user including fees and taxes. Check the foot notes.

So...You are admitting I'm right?
You cite a price of $.05 per KWH=$28/million BTU to support a claim that this is more economical than gasoline.
But, if we use this new price of $.1226, the price is $68/million BTU.
And figuring gas at the average Arizona price of $3.50
USA and Canada Current Average Gas Prices By City/State/Province - GasBuddy.com
We get $27.63/million BTU.
I mean, I guess the OP could:
1) Start an "Industry" in Washington State
2) Make HHO in Washington
3) Transport it to Arizona via Unicorn Super Highway
4) ????
5) Profit!
Since we are making stuff up... and we are all bound to be transported to the unicorn corral, let’s assume:
1) The above steps 1-3 have absolutely no cost
2) The electrolysis machine has absolutely no cost
3) He will be able to store it in his Unicorn stables at absolutely no cost
4) The necessary mods to his car have absolutely no cost
He would save $3.55/million BTU, or the equivalent of roughly $0.44 cents per gallon.
Seems legit.
