I assume the higher water content helped?
Wasn't there a car with water mist injection to improve performance?

for the record, that water mist injection system is for cooling down intercoolers.

There is water injection into cylinders as well, the big diesel trucks that do the pulls have water injection into the cylinders along with the fuel. Right Tony ?

Once the water is injected into the cylinder it turns to steam and its volume increases waaay more than just air?

Didn't some WWII fighter airplanes use water injection in their engines when maximum power was needed, such as when an FW was on their tail with cannons blazing?
