Fossil fuel products leave a film on the inside of the engine & exhaust protecting it from rust. Hydrogen burns so clean that there's no protection & the engine will rust from the inside out. Who has the cash for ceramic coatings & stainless steel valvetain? The cheapest solution is to burn a little bit of gas, I'm not sure how much it would take to protect the engine but it's pretty dirty when it burns so probably not much. The exhaust would probably rust out anyway but it would take a while. You could put the money you save in gas towards stainless pipes. If the car is a real hog it won't take long.
