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.

That would be from a degree in engineering and an understanding of basic chemistry and physics.

Faster, yes. What does "better" mean? But if you burn vapor in the combustion chamber you get the changing of items #1 and #3 above without capturing #2.

You don't want liquid fuel for optimum efficiency.

In an internal combustion engine, yes you do for the reasons listed above.

And you misunderstood my point about the oil companies reformulating the gas so it would take alot more heat to vaporize it

No, you don't understand what the term vapor pressure means.

Just out of curiousity...do you work for an oil company?

No I don't, but I often work in that industry.

Your lack of knowledge is a little perplexing to me

The lack is on your part. You ignore what actual happens in the engine. Go back and actually read what I wrote. The parts you don't understand go look up in an actual science publication instead of a conspiracy theorist web site.
