From: Western NY,
I did my senior project in high school on HHO or "Hydrogen" generators. I built several different designs, experimented and researched a lot. It can improve your gas mileage, but it's a lot easier on a carburated vehicle. In fuel injected vehicles, you have to fool the computer into thinking the truck is running rich, otherwise, once sensing the increased oxygen in the exhaust, the computer will send more fuel into the mixture, negating any gains that you may get.
In a small expperiment, I built a 3' aluminum tube HHO cell with a spiral of stainless steel wire inside. I ran my riding lawn mower idle at mowing rpm with a 1/4 cup of gasoline alone and the same amound with the cell connected to the mower's air cleaner. It ran a considerable amount longer with the cell.

The hardest thing to crack is a design in which the cell doesn't erode too quickly and the most gas is produced without too much amperage draw. Aluminum corodes too quickly, steel turns to SUPER RUST, and I've even managed to get stainless steel to rust. I did find, however that the best electolyte is vinegar. The acid keeps the metal clean and unlike baking soda, the gas produced is much more pure.

With a ROE controller or an Air/Fuel calibrator, you can adjust how rich/lean with just a turn of a ****. I have the Split Second ARC1 A/F calibrator on my truck, and can adjust it for the rich/lean very easily.
