So why do it?

HHO is not the all encompassing silver bullet the snake oil salesmen put it out to be, but it does have value, if you are willing to put the effort into it. The Madyira paper shows HHO has promise. There are more papers. The reference footnotes are valuable and are worth looking up.

Understanding is a big part of the exercise and the greatest reward. Learning is too.
I agree with the lack of RoI for most modifications, but there are some that appear way too tenuous. HHO appears to be either way too immature for any real, solid facts to be available or just a crock, depending on how you interpret the sparse facts. Hydrogen as an adjuvant fuel may have some promise along the lines of running propane with diesel, but I seriously doubt that it will make quantum leaps in internal combustion efficiency. I also hope to be proven wrong...
