The main benefits would come from the extra oxygen instead helping to produce a bigger bang for less molecules. That means an old dirty untuned engine would run better. But you still use more fuel. You need a lot of hydrogen to produce much of a difference and then a 12 volt battery won't do. The claims they usually give break the conservation of energy law so all claims are really a load of crap.

The Iceland government has a plan to eliminate the import of oil products as soon as possible by replacing them with hydrogen derived from electrolyisis energised by hydro and geothermal power, of which they have a huge amount. So far, they have some buses working on hydrogen. I am not sure what other uses they have.
Scams of telling people there is some magic method of improving car miles per gallon or some such involving water are just the usual con trick.
It's a bit like the the lectures I have heard from earnest people who assure me that Tesla invented a more efficient method of building a steam turbine by putting little holes in the blade. If it is more efficient the industry would have adopted it a century ago.
