As Metrompg said, and pointed out hydrogen is useful for increasing efficiency. It has been proven. However, you can't just slap on a hydrogen cell and get gains. You NEED to retune the engine for it to work. Any kit without some form of fuel and ignition controller is not going to do squat. Ideally, you have engine modifications that go hand in hand such as increasing compression. If you are willling to do all that you will see benefits.

I am working on a cell for one of my vehicles (haven't decided yet, but I want to put it on the Matrix in the end). I'm sure it won't be done with it anytime soon, but this summer I'll definitly be working on it. Just waiting for a warm freakin day so I can try out my plastic welder. Stop snowing already!
