Can I guess what you drive and how many guesses do I get???
Your point on H2O for high CR and blown motors is correct. Water does not of itself contribute toward fuel economy but high compression does and water allows low octane fuel to go really high without detonation (at college we ran a tractor engine on kerosene at 17/1 and a lot of water!).
Pinhead - too many times it's a play it safe deal - in the corporate world if you don't make mistakes your chances of promotion are better. Also the not invented here syndrome comes heavily into play - to my mind that trait is a sign of insecurity!
Marxc - I tried a steam injection kit from a UK manufacurer many moons ago. It more or less did what water injection did. Might talk more about that in a future article. As usuall Smokey was on the right track.
