consider the amount of balloons a well voiced person can inflate.compress the ballon into a barrel at say,200' under water and then alow the barrel to pull a cable towards the surface of the WATER.compute the energy produced by the barrel rising and the energy nessesary to cause the air in the barrel to locate.this is a 17,000 year old tip.

It takes more energy to inflate the baloons and submerge them that can be extracted from their rise to the surface.

seems to me like some pressure at work rather than fuel? anyway, water is more dense than oil (also depends on the quality of oil), so naturally energy release from pressure is higher than that of oil. If you burn water as a fuel, it may provide more energy also due to the high latent heat capacity, I think.
