There are a number of companies which make a gadget you can attach to the air intake of your car which injects a mixture of hyrdrogen and oxygen derived from electrolysis of water, into your engine.  
  
 They claim it improves the efficiency of your engine and will increase gas mileage by about 30%.  
  
 Has anyone tried it? What are the results?

It’s a scam. We’ve had numerous threads on this.

Many have tried. None have succeeded. Keep your wallet closed.

A moderator needs to kill these threads as soon as they appear, along with a note to the poster with a link to a previous debunking.
