Ten seconds more research revealed the following facts:
  • Pure Hydrogen has a calorific value of 13 Mj/Kg
  • Petrol has a calorific value of 45.8 Mj/Kg.
This is discounting the space taken up by the oxygen in the HHO gas....

What a load of crapola!

. . . there is some real science behind the ability of HHO to affect combustion even with an exceedingly small volume percent added to the fuel/air mix. No hocus pocus or smoke and mirrors. Just good science ( albeit advanced for most people ) that does show a pathway to gain a few percent at stoichiometric mixes and much more at lean burn.
