I'm surprised that the news of this didnt spread like wild fire since the fuel prices are so high.

From the site:

"Though the installation of a hydrogen gas generator will increase the mileage of most vehicles by a considerable amount, usually 5-10% or more, the system that accounts for 50% to 100% increases in mileage includes other components and the implementation of the numerous maintenance and driving recommendations outlined in the operator's manual. No simple device could give 50% to 100% increases in mileage."

$750 for 5-10% and some driving tips? Where do I sign?!?!

Includes other components... That means theres more to this kit involved outside of just the installation (as in tweaks, and possibly other parts). Im interested to try it because my friend uses the fry-oil on his 240d and he gets about 220mpg now. I know im not goign to get anywhere near that, but anything is better than nothing at this point.

that's just it everybody is talking about high fuel prices and here comes something that can help and it doesnt get any props.Meanwhile somebody comes -up with a piece of sheet metal calls it tornado and bingo it's splatered all over with publicity.There 's other uses of this Brown's gas like welding and it's cool to the touch.

So has anyone actually tried this yet? The theory and chemistry is sound, and Ive found many pages online of people who use similar setups (often home-brewed, whcih is good news cause its way cheaper) and they all talk about how great it is and how they want other people to pick up on it. I am really tempted to try it out man.
