apparently a company in Spain (link below) can add a bit of Hydrogen to the original fuel mixture in any car to increase fuel economy hugely. *looks* like a good idea!
almost doubled the mpg of a 5.7 chevy V8...

doubling fuel economy for €300.....

Without eaven looking at the link im thinking 'Snakeoil'
I remember reading about the Mazda RX8 that was converted to hydrogen, it did work but as a fuel for a 'normal' engine it's not that good. The Mazda's boot was dominated by a massive gas tank but it's range was very poor (2.5 MPG
) and the engine's power was about half that on petrol.

If you want to massivly reduce your running costs for about £300 then do a DIY LPG kit, mine will do 200 miles for £18... Not bad for a 320 boat anchor

The technology was carefully buried in the archives after WWII. Oil companies and governments would rather you did not know about this technology.

i look at things like this and think what a load of s**t 
Seen loads of posts relating to this. General consensus is you'd use more energy turning the water into hydrogen than you'd release from the burning of the produced hydrogen.
Got images of people driving around with the big canvas bags on the roof full of hydrogen you see in the old war films.. No wonder the technology was buried

Could be that hydrogen is the fuel of the future,no bloody tax on it...yet....
