When the gas is made into a fine vapor via much heat you are getting an expansion of it and thereby more volume.

Changing from liquid to gas is item #2. If you use a theoretical carburetor or preheat to change it before the combustion chamber as you suggest, you do not get to capture that change to do the work of moving the piston. It needs to enter the combustion chamber as a liquid. The smaller the droplets are, the more rapid the reaction.

I found a story of a man on one of the mpg's site whose fuel pump was malfunctioning and overheating, causing the fuel to heat up. He was getting about 45 mpg's when he was normally getting about 23.

I've read a lot of stories about Bigfoot, UFO's and Elvis working at a convenience store. Repeating a fabrication does not make it true, and it does not change the laws of chemistry and physics.


This is a typical automobile.

The only part you suggest is being changed is 62.4%. That is a huge loss, I agree. But your examples are doing nothing to reduce friction or capture the waste heat given off the engine, radiator and exhaust. It is not magic, but a chemical equation and basic physics.

but the oil companies have made it difficult by reformulating the gas to a very high vapor temperature

Raising vapor pressure means more vapor is produced. Vapor pressure is a measure of the amount of gas that would natural occur as a liquid is put into a closed container. If a what you claim is true, it would produce more, not less, vapor.

Vapor pressures are regulated by the EPA. They force the fuel to be reduced vapor pressure.

I really don't know where you are getting some of your ideas...it's a well known fact that the more vaporized the fuel is, the better it will burn. Hence fuel injection mixing with the air to vaporize partially. You don't want liquid fuel for optimum efficiency. And you misunderstood my point about the oil companies reformulating the gas so it would take alot more heat to vaporize it thereby making it very difficult for the backyard mechanic to make his or her own vaporizer.
Just out of curiousity...do you work for an oil company? Your lack of knowledge is a little perplexing to me for someone who says to read the science. Not meaning to put you down but you need to look a little more objectively at the subject.
