Why Water Won't Improve Your MPG: A PM and Dateline NBC Investigation

Title says it all - very much worth a read.

I'm hoping to find a copy of Dateline when it airs...

The EPA and Federal Trade Commission are supposed to protect people from being victims of these con artists, but they mostly remain propped on their posteriors wasting public funds and telling everyone how it is not their job to protect the people.

They weren't able to help during Huricane Katrina, and allowed a small group of theives to run away with billions and dumping trillions of debt onto everyone else's lap.

A group of these bankers visited Pres. Obama in the Whitehouse last week, and the only thing they asked the President was "How can you love in a dump like this?"

Nice.

There was a guy with an S10 on another forum that tried the HHO, and he claimed to have some pretty significant results. Back then, people were citing an older PM article showing why it wasnt possible, but the only argument was the energy balance. I argued that there was more to the process, and that you shouldn't necessarily claim that it is impossible based on the energy alone. It is nice to now see the myth debunked scientifically from start to finish.
