And one more thing. Lot of folks mention that since the six cycle engine needs water, than you'd need to carry lots around. Well, yes and no. If you get 40% in fuel savings, then you need only 60% of the original amount of fuel on board for the same range. You also don't need the whole cooling set up, therefore, practically, you maybe adding 15 - 20 kilo for and average car, which you can control anyway, like you control the amount of fuel already.
Just my two cents.
PS. In terms of lubrication pure gasoline is not very good, therefore it contains additives that go onto the surface of the cylinder. This might be obviously not within the scope of a backyard mechanic, but perhaps a backyard chemistry fanatic would know a good water additive that could work the same way. Ideas anyone?
