Seems logical. A couple more questions if you don't mind. Since the timing of the ignition event is so critical in a combustion engine, is it possible that the addition of hydrogen accelerates the process and improves efficiency of the gasoline burn in that way? Possibly similar to the use of higher octane fuel (as I understand it contains less energy than lower octane fuel) in a high compression or boosted engine allowing one to advance the ignition timing and thereby increasing power output?
