Hello,

I'm pretty familiar with the overall energy picture.

If you can show me a car that runs on crude petroleum, then you will convince me that there is no energy added by the refining process.

The point is: if the added hydrogen somehow affects the combustion of the gasoline or diesel in such a way that increases the efficiency of the engine to more than offset the energy lost during the process of splitting the water -- then this whole thing is legit.

Is it legit? Or is it snake oil?
