What percent of gasoline burned in an ICE actually moves the driver?

Working on Hydrogen On Demand system. We would like to know % gasoline burned in engine. Currently we have 70% burned with rest burned in catalytic
converters (2) for pollution control. We want to use HHO to get 100% burn as
HHO burns at 5600 degrees F. What is best answer?
HHO from electrolysis burns at abour 5600 deg. F. from our data. What temperature does gasoline and air burn in the engine? Seems hard to find
data.

It's not THAT hard to find the temperature...the adiabatic flame temperature (a theoretical construct that assumes no heat loss) is 3500 degrees F. In the real world it's about 2800 F.
The efficiency of a piston engine is about 20 percent. You've got to overcome friction in the engine, for one thing.
HHO is not going to help you get 100-percent fuel burn. There are a lot of reasons you don't get 100 percent burning - they intentionally put more fuel in the engine than can be burned (it's called a "rich" mixture) because if you have too much air, the engine runs real hot and burns up. If you throw HHO in there, you'll get 100-percent combustion of the hydrogen...but when you dissociate water into HHO gas, you provide a perfect stochiometric ratio of hydrogen to oxygen, so there's no more air in there to burn gasoline than there was before. (Having said that, you will need less gasoline per stroke to get the engine to move because part of the fuel is hydrogen...but your engine will need more gasoline because it requires more power to electrolyze water than the hydrogen and oxygen can return to you when you burn it, and the place you're going to get the power to electrolyze the water is from your engine.)
If it was me, I would forget about the overhyped HHO thing and put a really small turbo on the engine - not to get big big power, but to increase the amount of turbulent air flowing into the cylinders.

Why is gas better than water?
Gasoline is a fossil fuel, and when burned, it gives off a lot of energy. This energy is used to power your car. I suppose water would be usable, but if it were used, there would be a bunch of foggy steam coming out of the car, and it might affect a driver next to it.
