The car will still burn fossil fuel friggin technology. The hydrogen is just an assist.
You're the one not getting it.
It takes a lot of electricity to make Hydrogen. The more load you place on a car's alternator the more power the engine has to apply to turn the thing = LOSS OF MILEAGE.
Read the popular mechanics article. Assuming the unit can provide a steady supply of hydrogen your run of the mile engine is not tuned to take advantage of the hydrogen. Running an engine that lean under normal conditions will cause a spike in Carbon Monoxide emissions. If you reprogram the ECM to lean out the mixture you are still dealing with the fact that even if the system was 100% efficient the additional pull on the alternator will likely eliminate any gain in mileage.
If you don't believe it takes power to run a alternator grab some jumper cables and hook your car up to a dead battery with your engine idling.
