I'd be very very cautious. If it works, it does so not by running on hydrogen but on black magic.
There is no way you're going run a gas engine to spin an alternator to generate 1000 watts of current to electrolyze water to make hydrogen and get a 1000 watts more power out of that engine after injecting it. You'd be lucky to get 25 percent of it back. If you can, keep at it. Soon enough you'll create your own private sun.
One trip isn't enough data, as barometric pressure, humidity and temp can affect MPG pretty significantly. Gasoline's BTU per gallon is a poor figure as its volume and be +/- nearly 10 percent with heat. If you use super cool gasoline your MPG will be markedly higher. For example, drag racers often run the fuel lines through ice boxes to get a more powerful fuel charge.
