I think on a big rig, 10% increase in mileage is typical with hydrogen injection (generated on-board with electrolysis). This may not seem like a lot, but for truckers, this is *huge*. I'll try to track down more info on this. Anything more than 10% I'd be highly skeptical of, myself. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
