You can get just less than a pound of hydrogen out of a gallon of water. A rough estimate on how far a car can go on a pound of water is 30 miles...this is on the optimistic end of the range; i.e., a car designed to run on hydrogen. So let's say you can get 30 more miles out of a gallon of water, which means you could get 7.5 miles out of a quart of water, and I believe most HHO generators hold a quart of water, at most. The problem is that you can't use the whole quart of water because the electrodes need to stay covered to work efficiently. So then let's assume you can (optimistically) use a 1/4 of that quart, or one cup, of water before replenishing the water. A cup of water gets you just less than 2 miles. So if you have a 20 mile round-trip commute to work and back, and your car averages 30 mpg, then the HHO generator will increase your mileage by less than 10% if that whole available cup of water is used.
Two issues (1) the HHO generator uses electricity to work and according to 99.99% of scientist you get about as much energy out of hydrogen as it takes to produce it; and (2) almost everyone of my "assumptions" along the way of my calculations was very OPTIMISTIC. Given all this info, do you really think this will work?
Like I said before, do the math, study the science, and you will quickly realize it's a scam.

1 pound of H gas can fetch you around ?
Thanks for the info.
