At a cost of $186.50 per gallon energy equivalent to gasoline who in their right mind would bother? even splitting water at home is going to cost you the same as if you had spent $37 per gallon on gasoline.
No one is saying that hydrogen does not burn, it does, it burns great, but it also doesn't have a whole lot of energy in it, like Old Mechanic said, a liter of hydrogen is the same amount of energy as one and a half wood matches, enough to burn you and make a pretty flame but it's a fluffy fuel.
You can of course also make hydrogen chemically by dropping aluminum in Lye works well, but then you need a source of aluminum that is cheaper then the scrap price.
