The best "explanation" I've read of why water4gas works at all is that it is basically the equivalent of adding a water injection system to your vehicle. The water increases the octane of the fuel because it slows combustion. Unfortunately, water injection will also substantially decrease the lifespan of your engine. The miniscule amount of hydrogen that is produced has a negligible effect on your engine's performance. One more thing... the modification of your vehicle's emissions system is illegal in most states. Not that they're going to hunt you down or anything.
