Here's my best mpg add on. Paid $1500 for it 2 1/2 years ago. It gets 46mpg, and it paid for itself in 6 months from just the money saved in gas from not driving the pickup. I use it just to go to work and back. Not only do I save money from the good gas mileage, but I am extending the life of my pickup too by not driving it daily. I have put 20k miles on this car. That's 20k that I didn't put on the pickup. Now I do what I want (performance wise) to the pickup without worrying about gas mileage in it.

Otherwise, on the pickup, I gained 2 mpg when I added a fastman TB and a CAI back when I first bought it. Those where my first mods. Went from about 13-14 to about 15-16. I saw about .5 mpg gain when I added the tonneau cover.

HHO generator. He didn't show the cell, but if he's getting any decent results he's running a dry cell design and not a mason jar with brown water.
