If there is legitimacy to these products, it is a shame that these sites are filled with more salesmanship than science. It is also why people like me are skeptical until there is some unbiased data.



I actually disagree with you on that. Having a properly tuned engine increases the efficiency. Your gains from a properly tuned engine may not be mutually exclusive of the gains from another product. For example, if you have fouled and mis-gapped plugs and replace them with expensive platinum plugs and your mileage increases 30%, you could say the expensive plugs are worth it because they improved your mileage 30%. But the fact is, you could have cleaned and re-gapped your old plugs or got new cheapos and seen the same gain. The improvement was not from the new product, it was from correcting the issue. So yes, you are seeing a 30% improvement, but you are getting the same mileage as a properly tuned LC. Now when you get it to give you 17 mpg, it is a little safer to say it is due to the new project.

Which leads me to another theory. I wonder if the issue is not the hydrogen, but it is actually the oxygen that is the bigger help.

Very interesting, but I still don't think anything has been proven (or dispelled).

Keep us posted.
Im 2X on the oxygen addition being the help. Nitros oxide injection add's o2 in large ammounts and we know what it does to performance. The extra H2 in the mix just cleans up the extra 02 and ends as water. Any way interesting hope everyone keeps posting real results. That is the best info in the long run.
