I think the way things are going, we are going to be moving toward hydrogen fueled cars soon anyway. It really is the best answer to the problems.
You want to talk about green emitions....the byproducts from combusting hydrogen is mostly water. We can generate hydrogen from electrolysis of water and seperating it into hydrogen and oxygen.
If they engineer it correctly, we can have a car that you fill up with water and uses an electric motor to seperate water into hydrogen and oxygen, which then uses the hydrogen to fuel the car which in turn generates electricity for the motor. It could then collect the exaust which is mostly water and use it to convert back to hydrogen again.
