What if the potential energy in the jar exceeds the extra energy that it takes to turn the pully that extra little bit? We can make assumptions all day. I just need to complete the project.
And remember, pullies drive superchargers too but does that extra work the engine does take away from hp? Not in the end result.

The reason a supercharger works is because the pulley is turning a screw/turbine, or very simply- a fan, that is forcing a significant amount of air into the engine. the computer ups the fuel, and more power is created. Superchargers
reduce your gas mileage (which is pertinent because you're not trying to gain power out of this HHO system, you're trying to gain gas mileage). The end amount of power is greater, but the parasitic power loss is present with a supercharger. In addition, it's adding way more air to the motor via the "fan" than a "HHO" system ever will.
If you want to increase your gas mileage, try reducing the amount of work the engine does. remove your AC and radio for starters. then, move onto the power/electrical steering. From there, why not lean out the engine and drive slowly?
