So they take a fuel that, due to its low carbon content,
isn’t as powerful as gasoline, reduce that carbon content to zero, and expect to get any vaguely reasonable mileage out of it???

Fuel cells, not being thermodynamic cycles which must waste a significant fraction of their input heat energy, can approach 100% efficiency of the hydrogen fuel they consume. It is therefore not beyond the realm of reason that a system such as described might have respectable efficiency.
