One of the guys where I lived did just that. Designed an engine that used some complicated mix of water in the fuel injection. Patented it. Exon Mobile bought the patent for 2.5 million dollars. That was over five years ago. I saw the design (the guy even gave me the numbers so I could look the thing up in the patent files), and it's brilliant. I played with the "prototype" (aka- the guy's old Cadillac truck.... and if something bigger than your average SUV made back in the early 80s can get almost 80 miles to the gallon..... a normal car should be almost nothing.)
