Actually, I believe it requires up to 70% more energy to separate H2 and O1 from water and then burn it in an enternal combustion engine. Even if it were and equal swap, you are still burning fuel somewhere. You are just transfering the pollution to another bit of realestate.
Not the answer.
With Nuclear it might be justifiable to throw away 70% of the energy but we would need a lot of nuclear plants to feed the grid for electric powered cars. Where would we put the Nuclear wastes? Just about everywhere is now somebody's back yard.

Re my dad,
I went with him to Florida. He got it but you can argue with him if you want. I drove a 91 mini van with a little six and got 22mpg. drove me crazy.
