If you don't want the comments about your brown gas generator, then stop mentioning it.
FWIW, I HAVE real-world experience with that system, and it's a crock. Installed on an interstate hauling rig, set up exactly per the instructions, and returned a -0- mpg change. I think we actually picked up .001mpg when it was removed thanks to the weight loss. These trucks are carefully monitored for every mile driven and every gallon used since the drivers get an extra bonus for mileage. Average for these trucks is about 4.5mpg, at 98,000-110,000lbs.

No matter how hard you try, you will NEVER get more out of this process than you put in, it is against the laws of thermodynamics. If this was truly a net gain process rather than a net loss, then hydrogen would be the main fuel in use now.
