Brown gas or HHO has been used for decades. It could possibly improve the efficiency of petrol engines by ensuring faster and more complete combustion of the normal fuel. Not sure how he could possibly run a car totally on this as the power required to split the water into hydrogen and oxygen is greater than can be generated by burning it.

I drive a diesel and I recently had a text from Citroën telling me the Scrappage-Scheme 2017 has just been announced. Hint hint me thinks.  Undecided

"This scheme is open to anyone with a vehicle more than seven years old, providing you’ve owned the vehicle for at least 90 days. We’re offering customers savings of between £1,600 and £6,400 on a new Citroën car and up to £7,000 on a commercial van. The scheme runs until 31st December 2017, so there’s plenty of time to find the right Citroën model to suit your needs."

Yeah, the official target date for the end of fossil fuel vehicles may be 2040, but once big businesses get behind it, (realising it'll open up a whole, huge new market for them), it'll happen a lot sooner. I'm sure the average bloke in the street, who just sees cars as a tool, not a way of life, will be very happy to trade his petrol model for a shiny new 'leccy one. Of course, he won't think about the cost of charging it suddenly sky rocketing the moment all the old models have gone Smiley -& they don't need to legislate us old school types off the road, simply reduce the availability of fuel & increase the cost, maybe by slapping an "enviromental tax" on fossil fuel Sad
