Do an A-B-A test. Rig up something that will inject steam into the intake manifold. Keep all over variables as close to the same as possible. Pick a test course that is short enough to not eat up too much time, yet long enough to show definitive results (say, around 20 miles total distance traveled). Perform a test run without introducing steam into the intake manifold. Perform another test with steam. Perform a third test, again without steam. Measure fuel consumption in all three cases.

It's not rocket science.

This will be my last response to you for now. I will not respond any more to you, until you (or somebody else here) actually builds something, involving water or steam injection into a gasoline engine, that is proven to improve fuel economy.
