Just got back from Stagecoach, CO got 15.4 mpg with up and down hills above 7k ft. I was getting 10-11 mpg before and it ran like crap. Now with hho it runs great on the road and the gas gauge isn't on the downward death spiral quite so much. I'm in the middle of desmogging so I've got some egr leaks for now, soon to change.
The first time I installed the 11a single cell, it took a bit, mainly because I had to figure out where the optimal mounting locations would be. Jim at Magdrive recommends between the grill and radiator for most vehicles. the 82 fj60 has a condenser in the way so I bent the straight brackets on the brick so that I could mount it in the passenger side of the engine next to the wheel well. It's worked so far, but I will fab a quick release bracket out of aluminum so I can take it out easily for cleaning once a month or two. I'm also working with some new quick release tubing for the hho output hose so cleaning or dissassembling the system for working on the engine easier to reinstall. I will also clean up the wiring and make it to where it disconnects as well.
If you can install a car stereo, amp and speakers etc, and have some what of an idea of how an engine works, then you will have no problem.

I'll have some pics just as soon as I can borrow a digi camera.
