It takes *exactly* the same amount of energy to pull a water molecule apart as the energy you get out when you put one back together. Why isn't this clear to people?
Water, however, if properly introduced into an old (and inefficient) carburetor can boost power by breaking up the gasoline mist into smaller droplets after the compression stroke. It may therefore make an engine that is, say 30% efficient be instead 31% efficient. A good modern Fuel injector, however, will win hands down.
The question I have, is: Why is Reuters soooo dang stupid?
