The benefits of water injection have been well-known, and under-exploited, for many, many years. Lately, I've seen a number of so-called "hydrogen generators" which are a new twist on an old idea. They basically claim to use the car's electrical system to generate "Brown's gas" or hydrogen and oxygen, via the decomposition of water. Naturally, any scheme to use energy to produce a fuel to run a vehicle to produce energy amounts to perpetual motion and is of course bullshit. The amount of hydrogen and oxygen required to run a vehicle is substantially greater than these "hydrogen generators" can produce.
However, by advancing the ignition timing and leaning the fuel mixture and adding water vapor to cool the charge, it is very possible to significantly increase fuel economy.
So, you be the judge. Better yet, buy a system and post your results!

oh man... Al gore is gettin it tough.. did you see the recent news? now they are blaming the shortage of foods in many third world countries due to high prices generated from all his "global warming" efforts. corn and lots of other crops normally used to help support many of those countries has risen in price because of all the experimenting with alternate fuels and basically using the crops for stuff other than food and resale.. lol
