Sorry for some of the feed back, too many kids with a lack of maturity.
Bottom line, there is no way to get more then at best 20 MPG at sea level.

best I did was 19.7 MPG @ 65-70 MPH following a tractor trailer. That's with say 500 lbs. of baggage in the truck.

Switzer, is your ScanGauge II very acurate? Where did you mount it?

I mounted it on the top of the steering column in front of the instrument panel. I then ran the cable down the steering column and out underneath the dash near the gas pedal. I'll try to find a picture to clarify.

What have you found with it does it work or is it just more BS that they had back in the early 80''s to make money off people that where hurt by the fuel prices.

From what I have found it takes more that snake oil to get better mileage.

Start a new post when you find out if it works or not.
Best of luck.

aside from having your engine properly tuned, ie no loss from old plugs or wires and everything nice and clean, there really is no way to get much better milage outta these things except for keeping your foot out of it. if youre looking for great milage, get a honda, if youre looking for a car that will do anything and go anywhere and still has a good ride, keep the rover and suck it up

sorry for the question.. what is the scan gague for? I have been doing alot of reserch on the hho generator and just started looking for it on here.. anyone have good, free! directions? The one piece of info I have not found is - is there such a thing as too much hydrogen being added to the fuel air mixture? I know about having to trick the o2 sensors. Does this have to happen with both o2 sensore?
