Cars used to be powered by hydrogen, steam, and ethanol. This is very much a grassroots effort. Supplement the vehicle with a retrofit and you use less gas right? Why is that "nonsense"? You can buy kits to do it today. Are there shysters out there? Hmmm, not on the Internet

Doesn't matter if it is a supplement. The energy it takes to create it is greater than the energy content of the hydrogen gas that is created. Being a supplement is better than being the total fuel, since you won't go broke quite as quickly.
Hydrogen isn't a fuel in the same sense as gasoline is. It is an energy storage medium. If it takes more energy to create hydrogen than you get from burning hydrogen, you can only call if a fuel saver if you have a free source of hydrogen somewhere.
Read up on the Laws of Thermodynamics. Also Conservation of Energy.
