Carbon monoxide is considered a low energy fuel. But coupled with the hydrogen output, you can change your combustion characteristics considerably, and to advantage at the crankshaft.
Because you are using exhaust heat as the energy to drive the endothermic steam reaction, you have a greater molar mass of fuel at the output of the so called fuel processor. Of course, running this exhaust heat driven fuel processor at optimum will be nigh near impossible due to the varying amount of exhaust energy available.
