Anyone know offhand how efficient hydrogen is, energy-wise, on a per

(The car would be engineered to separate the hydrogen and oxygen use both, or just the hydrogen).  The technology is very lo tech and water is very stable.  The only hazardous possibilities, if done correctly, are possible electric shock if your fuel tank is ruptured in a crash, but even that could be engineered around.
