They'll use more fuel without the water, which means they'll buy more fuel, which mean someone will make slightly more money.

I think right now they can only run water in the injection system, without any alcohol. I suspect this strongly because of the 98 RON limitation on the octane rating, which an alocohol injection would upset.

With just water it's still better than fuel dumping. I think it's rediculous that they would ban it for any reason. The additional required weight in fuel would nearly off-set the decrease in weight from the removal of the WI system and componants.

If they want to lower cost ban the use of electro-hydraulic transmissions. They will still be competitive as long as no one uses them, and they would reduce the cost significantly since just one transmission alone costs over $70,000.
