I do not like giving my gas money to the greedy oil people. Right now, I have the diesel parked in my garage, my camper is in it's garage and my little Honda is only used for grocery runs. This is how it will be until I figure out how to make white lightning that will power my diesel engine. Some day, somewhere, some intelligent person will invent a fuel that will be cheap and plentiful, that will not be petroleum based and will put OPEC out of business. I hope that I live to see that day. Amen!

2207 Classic loaded to 7000lbs
2011 Sequoia with 5.7 six speed
13 to 16 mpg at 50 to 60 mph

I have done some tests and at 45mph in 5th gear I can get 20, so I know I can stretch it if needed, like towards the end of the month before my check is in the bank.

You might want to read the following before you invest in HHO system:

"We've had our share of posts on on-board hydrogen-generating engines over the past few years, and I'm sure there will be many more. The truth is that water engine hype will always need to confront reality from time to time. When it does, the results are not pretty. Coast To Coast AM wasn't fooled, neither was Popular Mechanics.

We weren't either. But, because this particular hydra has a lot (a lot) of heads, Popular Mechanics has partnered with Dateline NBC and an EPA-certified lab to bust the myth once again that burning the hydrogen in water in your engine will triple your MPG.

The details are over on Popular Mechanics, and you should head over there to read the whole thing, but the short version is that PM senior automotive editor Mike Allen has done his homework, and none of the HHO systems work as advertised. None.

We'll crib just one piece of math from Allen's article: onboard hydrogen systems change much less than one percent of the air needed in the combustion process to hydrogen. And that means that it doesn't boost your MPG by 300 percent. PM and NBC spent over $1,800 to prove that HHO systems don't work. You can just read the article."
