But since we all know the PSD is so inefficient that it just spits raw fuel down the tailpipe, and we all know because of this a PSD will get worse fuel economy than a highly efficient V10 gas engine, this must be the new breakthrough the world is waiting for.


Exactly. How much should be expected from so much inefficiency? I don't see where hydrogen generation/injection is removing friction or heat and putting that into locomotion and efficiency. The amount of "wasted fuel put down the tail pipe" is how much? Simple science has numbers on that.
