Bob, I bet you separated oxygen from water in a high school lab just like me and tons of other kids and that was with a battery, plates and a little wire. ...
Actually, I majored in Chemistry at RPI (getting A's) for 2 semesters before I switched to Physics.

There is only one way for this process to increase efficiency, and that is if it allows more timing advance by inhibiting detonation. Hydrogen has an octane rating of 130 but the volume you're introducing is so small that I doubt that it can have much effect. You would probably get a better result with pure water injection.

My original post's estimate of the poor efficiency of dissociating water stands. This a a sucker's bet.
