Eastwood....wasn't criticizing one bit. When I want to save gas (and it's feasible). I grab the Focus. 40mpg vs 14. No brainer. My primary is a VW with the 2.0 TDI...50 mpg is hard to beat, but it has zero ability to get out of a field (barely handles snow on the highway). My beater lists at 18 hwy. I'd like to get 20, if it's doable. I didn't have 32k for a new Tacoma, and this was a cash sale.

Just how much Hydrogen did your set up produce and how much energy is in a measure of hydrogen? Lots of hydrogen in beans, if you can seperate the sulfide from the hydrogen. Dunno. I'm a backyard kinda guy. Never put gauges on it, but there are folks that took it a lot further. Youtube has a ton of info on it.

I once played around with the hydrogen generator and put together a small one and I have to say i got 8 more mpg with it and considered building a much bigger one that mounted under the hood better but I never did. If you need better mpg Im going to suggest buy a new truck, one that was built to get better gas mileage.

There again, cold weather will screw with a guy on these hydrogen generators. Water freezes, so then you have to alter for that.

I've tried lots of things but never had much success gaining very much. Did have a guy tell me one time........ Put air shocks on the back to jack the rear up. You'll always be running down-hill and save so much gas, you'll have to stop once in awhile to drain some out.
Remember as a kid we played army and you gave up the fort so the other side got it? Of course you don't. Little kids aren't that stupid.
