can i just tell you an intersting figure.
only around 25% of the energy produced is actually used to power the car forward.
the remaining 75% is given off as heat and noise.
to increase the effieciencey of a car then you obvoiusly need to reduce the amount of wasted energy and this requires (insert the name of device that would be worth millions if some1 were to invent it) something to use the heat energy and convert it to kinetic energy.
reducing the exhaust temp by using water or something to cool it wont increase the engines effieciency. it needs to be cool to start with, but as combustion takes place in a combustion engine (imagine that ay?) its hot to begin with.
