why humid is better!

[Bruce]

How about the fact that early in the cycle it's *lessening* the compression
as it absorbs heat to *crack* apart, and then increases the heat generated
after ignition when it's most beneficial.
It's chemical reaction does have mechanical side effects.
If it doesn't work then why does it work?.
