You would have to seperate the hydrogen from the oxygen and store the hydrogen seperately or else the hho quickly deteriates when stored. Also, compressed hydrogen is EXTREMELY explosive as much as 5 times more powerful than gasoline. Why store it, when you can make it from very stable and safe water on demand systems.
What I can't figure out is why our main source of hydrogen is natural gas. This doesn't make sense as it takes a lot of energy to make it this way and the natural gas already can be used in a vehicle as a fuel itself. Hydrogen can be made much more economically through simple electrolysis from water and the electricity can be made cleanly through solar, hydro, wind, etc.
You can also run an electrical generator off of nothing but hho to produce electricity. since it runs at a consistant rpm. The applications of hho are just beginning.
