I experimented with a few different HHO generators I had built, and running it was like unhooking a trailer. Granted, this was a non turbo, mechanical pump without any sensors or computers to compensate any ratios. I also had a 6" lift and 35" tires, TH400 Automatic Trans. Not a eco friendly, nor great on hills, or anything over 55mph. I did average 17 mpg, and that's not bad for an 1983 Suburban, lifted with over sized tires on mountain highways, if you didn't mind using turnouts to let others pass, and so on.

With my poorly built HHO generators, my burn was more complete, I could see it in the exhaust, and accelerated quicker, and as a result, I pushed the throttle pedal less, because I didn't have too. With a mechanical injector pump, RPM and throttle directly dictate fuel used. Anecdotal information at best, and it gave that old sub more pep.
