I had a lot of thoughts and I didn't finish some of them..... So:
What I was asking about the water injection for was the fact that I too am skeptical about HHO. Oh don't get me wrong! I want it to work! And I do wish you the best with it too! (I see a lot of problems with it too. Has anyone mentioned the fact that you might want to shut it off well before you shut off the engine? I can see the moisture in the intake area causing a lot of corrosion and rust if it isn't 'aired' out before shut down. The other thing I don't hear any discussion on is about the electrolyte used in the water. Most are highly corrosive. Is / can that cause any problems in the intake of the engine over time? Like I said: I'm all for this working. If it does work well then these other questions need to be answered. It would not set well with most of us to even double our mileage if it totaled the engine in 50,k or 100,k miles!)
I understand the science and what not and I have to wonder if these systems are not just acting somewhat like a water injection system. That is why I asked how much of a benefit is seen from water injection. And what is your guesstimate of how much this HHO system is helping your mileage. If it is a lot more than what most see from water injection, then there must be something to this.
I also hope I didn't 'over' explain how to calculate your mileage. It really is quite simple! Deko, even if you have been doing it wrong (You have at least been in-accurate in using the when it clicks off method), you don't need to start all over. You could go tomorrow and fill up all the way. Write down the mileage and from now on always fill all the way to the top. Each tank is just that. Each time you write down the mileage (from the odometer) and then divide with how many gallons you just put in! In fact, you don't 'have' to fill-up each time. If you are ever at a station that is clearly robbing you, just put in enough to make it to a 'nice' one. Say you put in 10 gallons. All you do is fill up when you can, then write down the miles and simply add in the gallons from the partial fill. Then you are right back to your usual fill-ups and calculations!
