Don't believe this is really true. You can't get more energy than exists in the fuel to start with. Lower energy means you will have to burn more fuel to do the same work. If you can do some magical thing to an engine to optimize its power output for one fuel you can do it for another. It all boils down to the fact that you can't get something for nothing. People have been trying to do that for a long time with no success. Brings to mind the hydrogen generators hooked to the electrical system of a car. That doesn't work either. The truth of that one is the milage goes down as well.
