This gives an idea of the specifications and price, and suggests that, this slowish car with careful driving can touch nearly 90 mpg. The price of fuel would have a very low impact using this baby compared to other vehicles. It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues ID: 768951 ·

I believe that some of these systems, and they aren't that complicated, can save me probably 1/2 on my fuel expenses. It'll pay for itself pretty quickly, like just a couple of months. One website actually has an automatic controller unit for the entire Hydrogen system, they call it a VMU, which will make the operation of an HHO system very user friendly. Quite similar to my Edge chip, which is also supposed to save me money on fuel (But I cant keep my foot off the accelerator). Here is a link to that website. HHOForever ID: 769362 ·
