Don't be ignorant, it's in the freaking equations, specifically this one...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afterma...mic_Efficiency
the term g is 1.27 for gasoline and air ONLY and because it's the power of another term a very tiny change in it has a larger effect on the efficiency than you might think. As it happens, g is the ratio of SHC of the input to SHC of the output, for gasoline SHC is around 2.something, and output is 1.something, for Hydrogen the SHC figure is 7, yes s-e-v-e-n, 3 times that of gasoline. and the output is one. So even 1% hydrogen will show a change in efficiency.
All we have is some practical difficulty in implementation.

I remember The RoadWarrior..To understand who he was, you have to go back to another time..the world was powered by the black fuel & the desert sprouted great cities..Gone now, swept away..two mighty warrior tribes went to war & touched off a blaze which engulfed them all. Without fuel, they were nothing..thundering machines sputtered & stopped..Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways, ready to wage war for a tank of juice
