Well, technically "air" is just a mixture of gases, including the water
vapor you described.  Typical air on earth contains water vapor, so air does
indeed include moisture.

I understand (I think) what you're trying to explain - the moisture or water
is not dissolved in the other gases that make up air (besides the water
vapor).  Regardless... I believe we're all pretty much in agreement here.
As David put it... snake oil. :)

BTW, I usually fill my tires with helium.  I've found it shaves nearly a
pound off of the overall weight of the car and increases my acceleration by
almost 0.05%! :)
