Save your money on the snake oil. HHO and water may increase mileage a tiny bit (I doubt it does but lets say it does) make sure you toss in the cost of the snake oil treatments in your fuel mileage calculations.

If someting like HHO and/or water injection actually worked, with the tough government mileage standards, wouldn't the major manufacturers put that crap on from the factory?

That truck is going to get 10 mpg. If you want something that gets better than 10 mpg, look for a different model. Maybe look at a 1/2 ton, 6 cylinder with a manual transmission.
