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.
At least our usual mods return measurable and repeatable gains.
Trying to increase fuel economy with hho is about like trying to save water by flushing money down the toilet.
