... injects 20% water and 80% ethanol separately to produce a cleaner, more efficent [sic] combustible fuel known as AQUAHOL, which is 800% more efficient than gasohol (10% ethanol and 90% gasoline)...

BS flag shot right up the pole at this point and I quit reading any further. Apparently they are scientific enough to determine how efficient the fuel is, but not to spell "efficient" itself. LOL

In summary, though - water/alcohol injection has been around a long time. It can reduce emissions and/or boost power depending on how it's used. If you have a source of/make your own hydrous ethanol, there can be some cost savings as well because breaking the azeotrope to get anhydrous ethanol to blend with gas ups the price of the product. But no way in HE$% is it 800% more "efficent" than E10.
