Then also get a T-56magnum with a 0.5:1 over drive to replace the standard T-56 with 0.6:1 top gear eventually, enabling it to turn 1,300 to 1,400RPM at 75mph.
Because I know it works because of reliable, reproducable results.
You said these results aren't even reproducable even on the original modified vehicle.
We could not reproduce the HHO results, the lean burn setting of 16.5 is and has worked nearly every time I ran a test.
What makes you think it's all of a sudden going to work on all makes and all models?
As for Gas Vapor I do think if it works all normal aspiration cars can use it.
The closest thing I have found to a magic bullet that actually works is lean burn cruise.

I think my Merc. does a weak version of that and when I added in a little more leanness it goes to the 35MPG...with a lost of power, IF I could reprogram my Ford CPU to do it automatically as the GM version did I could see better results, a best of both worlds.
But for so little a improvement costing around $400.00 I kind of think it will not be all that worth it.
On my van I was planing of adding a OLD Borg Warner 3 speed with over drive and super short rear gears of around 2:05.
I had the first and reverse slide gear removed so now it is ONLY a 2 speed front tranny and a two speed over drive. (a second transmission on back.)
My idea was to use the BW second gear as a Under Drive giving me an strong low range and then shifting to third (1:1) for a high range (the 2:05)
SO I would have 5 low range gears (4 speed auto + 2nd overdrive) and then 5 high range gears.
And as the BW overdrive can be kicked in at any speed and any gear I can gear split all over the place.
The only down side is A) 90W gear oil and B) the added weight of this old cast iron tranny.
BUT as I had one in a 56 Studebaker as a teenager and hot rodded all over the place for 4 years and only broke rear axles. It is a tough old SOB.
Back in 1966 I used to fake other guys out with a 6 sped tranny, 1st then 1st and OD then 2nd w/o OD..then OD and then 3rd w/o OD and last OD again..turned a few heads and caused a few whiplashs...
