Building a car that uses HHO and can carry some is a lot more feasible than making a generation system that's small enough, light enough and efficient enough to haul around everywhere.
Sounds like it, doesn't it?

Mind you, Brown's gas (HHO to some) is probably the most explosive gas in existence.
A gallon of HHO under atmospheric pressure would, if it gets ignited, detonate and shatter its container like a hand grenade.

One chemistry teacher at my highschool ignited an inch of Brown's gas foam on a soap tray, using a metal rod with a glowing hot tip, to show how explosive the gas really is.
We were impressed.
So were the 5 teachers from the neighbouring classes that came running in to investigate.
The classroom windows did not shatter, we were impressed with that too.

I remember one news article about a deadly car explosion in an oil drum which was apparently part of a fuel saving device.
What followed was a rant on those crazy fuel saving hippies that put their and others lives at stake for a few extra MPG...

We do not want that.

Come to think of it, the Corral might need a subdivision to ground practices that are too dangerous to handle, whether they save fuel or not.
What about the "Jurassic Parking"?
