In any case, I'm with Henry Spencer on this: you're going to want a
liquid fuel as the end result.  Trying to maintain millions of
installations of an exotic technology, one in each car, is just not
going to be competitive with maintaining just a few large-scale
installations of an exotic technology in centralized
liquid-fuel-production facilities.

And if you want a liquid fuel as the end result, the optimal chemistry
likely won't have molecular hydrogen as an intermediate product
(though it might).
Molecular hydrogen, humph.  I want a car that runs on atomic hydrogen.
A car, and a rocket ship.  Atomic hydrogen would be worth the bother of
cryogenic storage...
