A news Station around my neck of the woods tested this and they said it worked. Here is the report. They did mess up on the math in one calculation.

They didn't just mess up on math, but missed physics and chemistry class as well as experimental design.

Single, non repeated trials, no control, no neutrality in the testing, and ludicrous claims about hydrogen acting like oxygen, helping a car burn gasoline? When you run out of O2, combustion stops, it's as simple as that, adding H2 will not help burn gas and saying 1/6 of gas is unburned and pushed out the tailpipe is ludicrous!

Then it calls the controlled burn an "explosion". I mean this report is just straight up ignorant.

I bet the device was tested by someone with little automotive knowledge by running the car at WOT and then adding his device and driving as slowly and efficiently as he possibly could.

interesting report from a Fox News affiliate - apparently the company is in talks with the government and a US auto maker about the technology:

Nice...he says the flame turns right back to water. How can it do that when he's supposedly burned off the hydrogen?

What do you get when you burn hydrogen in oxygen??

They didn't just mess up the math. That is an epic math FAIL!
