Yeah, I noticed that but the problem is you really don't want a heated mixture going into the engine.
Think about this. Spark plugs supply a plasma like heat to the fuel mixture to explode it. This system will simply cause the mixture to explode before it is where it needs to be in order to move the piston. I did the rough math and figured out that even very inefficient engines still burn over 85% of the fuel mixture in the cylinders. The remaining 15% is not enough to give a 50% increase in mileage.

Water injection is a trick used by the forced injection crowd to fight pre-detonation. With this gas saver product being used on a naturally aspirated engine the only benefit would be a bit of cooling but that would only work if they weren't introducing plasma level heat into the process. With catalytic converter type heat being introduced the water would instantly vaporize right along with the fuel mixture BEFORE getting to the cylinder.
