Unfortunately, we live in a universe where energy is conserved. In the real world the inefficiencies involved in producing the electricity to break down the water, in the electrolysis process itself and in the use of the hydrogen as fuel mean that you can't run your car on water, and that adding hydrogen generated in this way to your gasoline will not improve your fuel economy. A better way to spend your time and energy would be to develop ways to improve the aerodynamics of your vehicle, reduce its weight and in improving your driving techniques. Those things would be much more productive that trying to use some kind of magical technique that violates the realities of matter and energy.
