While I have great respect for Mr.Crower, I am very aware of some of his innovations. I remember a conversion he made for big V8s back during the embargo years that allowed you to take 4 pistons/rods and the operating pieces for those cylinder out and effectively make you a V4. While it may have worked, the labor involved and the fact that it was used on 2+ ton cars pretty much nullified any potential savings that it "might" have given.
I also am familiar with Toyota's 2cycle 6 cylinder engine that used a 4 stroke engine with the cam driven one to one. I don't recall all the specifics of how it functioned, but once again...it didn't pan out. Let's not forget Smokey Yunick's "hot air" engine that used to turbos as "mixers" that was supposed to increase HP while operating on less fuel. All good ideas and some may have been viable...except...for one thing...they have to meet the emission standards, which get tougher all the time. With "global warming" the current in vogue mantra, they will only get tougher. I can sell you a brick to put under your throttle pedal that will get you much better mileage.... however...you get the picture. I will await a more developed and de-bugged unit. Any system that will require the average American to "participate" anymore tha just filling the tank is unlikely to advance very far. You can burn wood and make a car run, but you have to cut wood and build the "oven" and smoke transfer tubes. Most Americans can't even check their tire pressures regularly...maybe it would be better if they were off the road,LOL.

OldDog and others have hit on some of the things that may be cumulative to the total WHY, but the mileage is improving. One strong possible is the advanced timing as many of the newer cars computers start with full advance and then each sensor retards the total. Browns gas has a small 02 content plus it carries moisture and the 130 octane level all makes the fuel charge more dense while NOT retarding the timing.

I did not stay at a Motel 6 last night so just winging it here but all the things above should be some help. I do not know why some feel that separating browns gas from water is so difficult or takes so much amperage because it is damn easy. I can produce more HHO than the smaller cubic 4 banger engine can use, more accurately I can not remove enough gasoline from the fuel map so engine becomes very rich. The engine is running on enough of the browns gas that if you turn off the HHO the engine will die and you can not restart until turning browns gas back on or returning gasoline delivery to the stock amount. Either way I am talking about a 25% increase in gas mileage as an average believe it or not. The engines power is up a little bit too, about the same turning the AC on and then off on this 4 cylinder engine (Saturn Vue).
