Did you look at the Madyira paper?

I also hope to be proven wrong...

The vehicle was a your basic carburetor equipped vehicle. It had a fuel system that is very limited. Much the same could be assumed about the ignition system. Their electrolysis generator was primitive and could use several improvements. Yet, they found a few percent gains in certain regimes of operation. This was all at the air/fuel balance of 14.7:1.

If HHO can help at stoichiometric mixes, imagine what it could do to extend the lean limits of combustion?
