    Hi TW,

    I'm new to "Taco's" .
    Purchased mine this past Dec. 2015. So this is my first Pickup. 4 ltr V6 Access crew SR5.
    Having a lot of fun with it (off road`ng), wish I had done this sooner.

    My previous vehicle (Saturn) got 37 MPG, unfortunately my Taco only gets 22 MPG.
    So I started to look around for any add-on to help improve the MPG's.

    I was wondering if anyone has tried any of these HHO fuel extenders or may have any info on them?

    I'm concerned about steam/water getting into the air intake.
    Since most use electrolysis, they make heat, and heat in water makes steam.
    Considering that steam/water is NOT very good for your engine, I'm doubting these are any good.

    However some models like below have dryers (to remove the steam/water),
    so No steam/water gets into your engine.

    Just wondering if theses are any good?
    There is a lot of controversy about these things on the Internet.
    Lots of pro & cons, making it hard to tell if they actually work or not.

    I checked with Toyota USA, they said they would not support the "new car " warranty if I used any thing like this. But there is a Federal Law for the DOT that says car manufacturer's have to honor their warranties despite any "add-ons". So I'm interested in trying one of these. But I do want to do my home work first.

    I would like to know of any of the claims (50% ) increase in gas mileage are true - I'm assuming without damaging the vehicle. 33 MPG would be nice, assuming they actually work.

    Old saying: If it's "too good" to be true , it probably is...

    Regards,
    Spyder.
