You can make a pretty nice continuous run water injection system for around $300.

To buy the water fuel emulsion additive it will cost at least $5 to $10 a gallon unless you buy a lot of it.
So if it works as well as normal water injection, best case scenario you break even. That doesn't include building the water fuel mixing rig, which no one really seems to know how to build. How much does that learning curve cost?
