I mean as a vapor in the motor.  If you have water vapor and you somehow
split it into separate H2 and O2 (both gases) they will want to occupy 
more space, this is assuming both are gas states (water vapor and water
split into its components).   The discussion was about what the water
vapor in the air does when it gets into the motor, it is already vapor when
we start.
