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:

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.

When was hydrogen first used?
hydrogen was first exploited as a fuel in Aviation in the 1920's and 30's. German engineers used it as a Booster fuel in the zeppelins" (page 182 of the hydrogen economy by Jeremy Rifkin). hydrogen was first exploited as a fuel in Aviation in the 1920's and 30's.

Which is a byproduct of using hydrogen fuel?
The only byproduct of using pure hydrogen as a fuel is water, often in vapor form.
Is Hydrogen better than gas?
yes because it does not pollute the air and can help keep the seas from being overflowed from melting ice caps and/or glaciers. it also will slow down the death of the human race, or otherwise known as extinction
How Hydrogen gas be installed in carburetor?
Hydrogen gas cannot be directly installed in a carburetor designed for liquid fuel. However, hydrogen can be used as a fuel source in a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, where it reacts with oxygen to produce electricity that powers the vehicle's electric motor.
Does hydrogen have a byproduct?
Yes, the only byproduct of hydrogen is water.
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.

How can you improve or increase fuel economy?
There are many ways to increase fuel economy, and many fraudulent products that claim to increase fuel economy. Ways to improve fuel economy can be divided into four general categories: - Driving habits - Fuel considerations - Maintenance tips - Vehicle upgrades One free online guide tries to cover each of these areas well, at the Ultimate Synthetic Oil website of DMT Technical.

Is acetone increases the fuel economy?
Acetone is a chemical that will remove moisture, so in fuel it could improve ignition but not power.

If you are referring to E85, from my experience using E85 actually lowers the fuel economy.

maybe
What is the propose of variable valve timing?
It is often used to improve performance, fuel economy or emissions.
What is the purpose of the Corporate Average Fuel Economy?
The purpose of the act was to improve the fuel economy of cars and light trucks. Specifically, by acting on the sales-weighted harmonic mean fuel economy. It's very tightly focused on the fuel economy, with fuzzy or overly abstract implications being one of the more common reasons for additions to it to be rejected.
