Perhaps 50% meth/water and 50% fuel, although that is
very high from my understanding.  I am relatively sure
that no aircraft used in WWII ran without gasoline
(excepting the few jets and the rocket-powered plane
fielded by the Nazis).

I was merely responding to the issue regarding water
collecting in the crankcase.  The onlny test mentioned
was made with 150% water injected by volume against
gasoline, and that's twice the amount that was
mentioned as the practical maximum used for cars. 
That practical maximum (70%) is only 150% of 90% RH,
mass-wise.  I'd be very surprised if there was
substantially more water in the crankcase of a
properly water-injected turbo car at 70% by volume
compared to one that had no water injection at all,
but again, I'm very interested to see actual testing.
