First of all, fusion reactors aren't fission reactors that use Uranium. A fusion reactor doesn't split, but aims to fuse deuterium and tritium, two forms of the hydrogen atom.

Furthermore, fusion has nothing to do with burning hydrogen in car engines. In the latter case two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom would form a water molecule and a lot of energy.
