Not only is it on the Internet, but someone on the Internet said it was true!

I'm convinced!

Aquygenâ„¢ Gas is capable of storing tremendous amounts of energy that can be released under certain specific conditions. Under these conditions, Aquygenâ„¢ Gas will release an estimated 3.1 times the energy levels released by pure Hydrogen or traditional Hydrogen & Oxygen mixtures.

Yawn... So you get 60% of the energy you put in? Impressive...

Gasoline engine yields some 30%, for comparison.
Gasoline is 30-40% when considering heat to mechanical energy.

The 60% Mendel was talking about (assuming he is correct, as I'm not sure where he got that figure from) is from electricity to HHO to heat. Generating that electricity from a heat source - gasoline, coal, natural gas, nuclear, etc. - is around 35% efficient. Generating mechanical energy from heat is similar. So you may only be around 7% efficient when doing an apples to apples comparison with gasoline. The only advantage is that you don't necessarily have to burn fossil fuels at the beginning, but the US isn't even close that situation.
