Has anyone here tried an HHO (Hydrogen) generator to increase your gas mileage? I know a guy who recently installed one on his vehicle and claims it improved his mileage by 35%. I had never heard of such a thing...

We built one in college as an experiment and the guy still uses it 4 years down the road. How it works is by introducing hydrogen into the intake, the O2 sensor will detect the extra "fuel" and have the ECU lean the mixture. In short you end up using less gasoline cause its burning hydrogen with it.

you need to remember this though... some work while others don't. I have seen a hydrogen generator system fail and catch the car on fire... not a pretty sight and the guys insurance wouldn't cover it.
