Don't know what Ozone (yes, it's O3) would do to the combustion effciency,
but would be very problematic since it is WAY more reactive than pure O2.
All of the considerations mentioned below regarding O2 injection (ie,
special oils, etc.) would apply even more to O3 injection.  O3 reacts very
readily with any organic compounds, might actually reduce effeciency because
of pre-ignition reactions with the fuel.
