It has been suggested that hydrogen is better for the environment but not necessarily better for fuel economy because the majority of hydrogen is produced directly from hydrocarbons and has serious consequences just like we currently have now by burning hydrocarbons (oil derivatives) directly in our vehicles.
A home made system can be constructed that produces a small quantity of hydrogen/oxygen from water and passed directly into the intake air manifold of your car which is said to improve your fuel economy, but research suggests the engine may run hotter and timing issues will cause knocking.
Should we change over to an hydrogen economy? Yes as should the whole world over, but with the reservation that storage of hydrogen is not the answer, actually it is futile and dangerous to even consider it see here:
http://knol.google.com/k/christopher-martin-wilson/hydrogen-storage-is-not-the-answer-to-a/41kg49i9tztg/4Apart from some on-site hydrogen generation/insitu, the hydrogen economy is best directed and steered towards self sufficiency. In other words it will be a do-it-yourself proposal but unfortunately until we all switch over from hydrocarbons the oil companies will do everything in their power to prevent it which will ultimately lead to higher and higher oil prices for those remaining few willing or having to buy it from them.

How do animals use hydrogen?
I believe animals use hydrogen the same way humans do. Please improve if needed!
Why won't an onboard hydrogen generator improve your car's fuel economy?
A hydrogen generator cannot be used to improve a car's fuel economy, because there isn't enough hydrogen available in the generator. That is why it won't work. It takes more energy to split hydrogen and oxygen out of water than you get by burning them. Too much energy is lost to heat.
