yeah I felt that too , but bedford had an invention a few years ago 
something with exhaust feedback or like this and they stated it'll
lower the combustion chamber temp lower the noise emission
increase mileage and so on 
so I'm a little bit confused
I just changed my thermostat to a warmer one and the difference seems to
be
positive . any ideas are welcome
maybe I could heat the air intake with exhaust-heat ? :)
anyway I posted this to get some opinions from the gurus 
maybe somebody already tried it blown an engine and can tell me to 
limit the water quantity under 1% of the air taken by the engine
bye
