According to the article it could decrease mpg at light load when the flame speed needs to be more around what the "petrol ICE" was design for at light load low rpm.

But I don't believe the article is true. From other Hydrogen data sources, Hydrogen has a flame speed of only 13.2ft/second in a petrol ICE. Around 9ft/sec at one atm.
