Simple logic and physics ?

WILL an HHO give you better gas mileage? In theory the answer is a 100% yes.

Its simply logic and physics if you put something combustable in an engine its going to combust it. If you are adding something besides fuel you now need less fuel.

In my minivan I have never gotten better than 28.6mpg. Ever since ETHANOL was added to our fuel I have never once gotten over 24mpg.



IN THEORY this is what will happen with hydrogen injection. you will have MORE OMPH out of the car and so you will just instinctual "use less pedal" to make the car go and maintain speed.

NOW this does bring us to a bit of a chemistry and computer logic problem.



If it works I will save a ton of money.
"Simple logic"? "Simple physics"? Put something combustible in your gas...to use less gas...what is going on here? Alcohol is put in your gas...isn't this the same thing? Alcohol burns, right? Hydrogen burns, right? But you see what happens when you add LESS caloric content to gasoline? Lower MPG! Hydrogen is lower than gasoline, too. What is gonna happen? Right! Same, same, Kemo Sabe!
