I too find it funny that a mod that can be turned on and off with a switch is impossible to ABA test.
What I gather from the HHO believers it sounds like the HHO destabilizes the combustion in gasoline engines. The same effect can be had by adding diesel to gasoline lowing its "octane value" or raising an engines compression ratio.
