I recently saw an article where they showed how water may be mixed
with petrol or diesel with supersonic mixers. Apparently the 17% or
so water makes the engine super efficient because it runs at a lower
temp, and the steam effect of the water gives it a boost. Diesel engines
also run quieter. I'd be a bit worried with all that steam in my car's
engine though... Not to mention the warrantee that'l fly out the window.
