Bought a 95 new (same set up as yours) and i'd say the best it "ever" got was maybe 15 mpg.

I have a 97 Chevy short bed with 350 230,000 miles going strong I get 13 around the woods and I can get 17, and have reached 19 on the interstate. I calculate mpg by a full tank of gas. My Ford Ecoboost ford is averaging 17 around the house and 21 interstate, have seen 24 in flat driving conditions with no head winds.

Last I filled up. I got chevron. I drove dirt rds. Filled feeders. Done all kinds of stuff around pasture. This is the 06 tundra. Was nearly empty last night. Filled er back up. Got 15.72 miles per gallon. That's a little better than normal. Musta been the chevron.

The sight above is a good place to compare milage.
I have a 1991 Ford Ranger 4x4 ext cab. It gets 15 in the woods and 18 high way if I use ethenol free it will add 2 mpg to that. It has over sized tires and wheels. 16's I think............

You know, I had a 2001 Ford Ranger w/ a 6 banger a few years back (bought for fuel mileage) and i'll bet it did'nt get much more than 16 to 17 on the hwy.Was really suprised.Went back to a full size.

After cancelling my first order due to the gentalman changing his promised delivery date out of Ill. he did me a favor and forced me to look for another supplier. Here is what I found;

http://www.auto-hydrogen.com/

I got my order yesterday and everything is exactly like they decribe on the website. https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConf...1=RE079172150GR

I spent 50 bucks this morning on wire, tubing and connectors. (way more than I need but I hate to run back and forth to the hardware store in the middle of a project.

19 mpg after 300 miles with a/c on at 70 mph. Played with amps the hole way from 5 to 10 amps. Potasium hydrate used in bubbler was too strong of mix, (big clump fell in when adding). Should have flushed the new system before using to get mfg'ing particals cleaned out. Will flush and add proper mixture, (one tsp. per quart). Connections to cell needs to be solder'd, not getting a good enough connection using spade connectors.

Getting over 22 mpg now and all sorts of power! Still fine tuning the amps and will try to split the HHO flow to the PVC valve. An escort is getting pretty good results with that setup.
