Makes sense to me.
Yeah Dean, it would really suck to get 60 mpg, an extra 40 hp, and better cooling w/o a radiator, all for having to fill up 2/3 gas 1/3 water, especially since water costs 1/3rd the price of gas.

BTW, BWM already has a working prototype of a water/steam system, though I don't know if it uses the 6-stroke concept.
