The gasoline has already had it's energy added, during the refining stage. If you had to refine it IN THE CAR, it would take a lot of energy to do so.

This device GENERATES the hydrogen IN THE VEHICLE, therefore it takes more energy -- from the vehicle -- than it can generate. So, it follows the laws of physics, yes -- and since the added energy (the "overhead") comes from the car (and not externally from the refinery) -- it is very different from the fuel in the tank!
