We dont really have either of those over here!
well we have 95 ron unleaded which (i think) is the lowest octance petrol avalible to mass public.
and although not often we do have hot days in this country and any driver will point out that the hotter it is the worse a car performs as a 10 degree increaqse in charge temp will result in a 1/1.5% loss in engine power.
so if ambieant air temp raises from a frosty 5 degrees to a scorchin 25degrees you loses 2-3% of engine performance not huge no but still a loss.
you also need to remember heat soak from the engine and bad ducting of cold air feeds can all result in your peformance dropping.

Still, you will get much better gains on an engine of forced induction variety, not normally aspirated.

So no BHP increase but faster acceleration? hmmmm

and some people want to spend £300 on a product that is going to give a 2bhp increase, which you will loose whenever the outside air temp is hot and pressure is high

water injection creates denser air
denser air = more bhp simple
maybe not a lot but the theory works.
