| When I first began with H.H.O. my 1998 Honda went from 28 mpg to 46 mpg. For a short time. Then it dropped back to around 31 to 33 mpg. I put O2 extenders on both sensors. Increased cells to three. Changed from baking soda to sodium hydroxide. Built and utilized an H.H.O. manifold. All to no avail. A few days ago I encreased my hose size to 1/2 inch. I also made another change which I had read about many times but thought it sounded ridiculous. I wrapped my pre catalytic converter O2 sensor with tinfoil. When I did so I saw the small ports which allow the O2 sensor to sample the ambient air. Boy do I feel foolish. I bounced up to 44.9 mpg. This is not quite real as for the first 20 of 98 miles on this tank of fuel there was no power to the H.H.O. system. Therefore the calculated milegae is less than actual. I measure mileage by filling the tank till it is above the flapper in the fill neck. In other words full to the top. Then reset my odometer. At he next fill, I fill the same way and divide mileage by gallons put in. Guys please don't laugh too loud, I admit my hardheadedness.

Guys please don't laugh too loud, I admit my hardheadedness. hi DL,  right off i ejoy ur comments...now, on this post, i'm curious as to which hose did you increase to 1/2"??..also it's ur hardheadedness that gave me the idea to work backwards in the plans i have for 1998 chev s10...after first achieving base mpg, city n hywy., to do the foil wrap before making any other installations/changes, to see what it'll do...my supporters are anxious to see a unit installed, but, like you i'm sometimes hardheaded too later hm2u
