Anyone here have any HHO experience?

yes I have experience with "HHO".... I drink it every day. Oh and that junk they tell you to put on your car., its a scam. Doesn't work. Tried it on mythbusters.
eta: Plus the physics behind it doesn't work, it takes more energy to break water into its individual components than you get from burning the hydrogen.

We tested an 18 wheeler full of the things and none, absolutely none, did anything for fuel mileage on a clean engine. There have been folks that claim benefits but when they no longer run it, the fuel mileage doesn't go back down- it stays the same. Why? Because water is a great cleaner in an engine. It's the best carbon remover ever and all this stuff that is going in the engine is water based. As far as the hydrogen, it has far, far fewer BTUs than gas and therefore injecting it equals less power which means you have to use more of the mix to get the same power as straight gas. If you'll research Brown Gas which is what these units are making, the originator of this scam is from Australia. He can no longer practice business in Oz and he has exported his scam to the rest of the unsuspecting world. There is a lot more to this than I can post because it would take a book to explain all of it but unless you can remap the PCM to account for the hydrogen, have a never ending supply of it or expect catastrophic engine failure as the engine will run too lean, gear accordingly for less power from the same engine, use a dynamic gas feed where the driver input is limited, and can control thru fuel shutoff the amount of fuel used in deceleration, it will never work as claimed. I've seen and been part of a unit that remapped the PCM and we did get about a 5% increase in fuel mileage across the vehicles tested....but none would pass emissions testing. I can do a lot better than 5% if emissions were eliminated and not use a gimmick like HHO.
