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.
Most in this country have things people in other countries only dream about. Yet, they want America to be more like those other countries.
