people were working on that idea by heating the gasoline in a sealed container to several hundred degrees and high pressure, and then spraying it into the cylinders.

Interesting that some drag racers cool the fuel to get more power by greater expansion inside the combustion chamber. Street rods often used an ice bath on the fuel line to increase power/speed.

They weren’t looking for ‘power’ they were looking for fuel efficiency, since the Arab oil embargo of the 70’s had gasoline at the horrendous price of $1 a gallon.....................

Chilling fuel is an old hot rod trick.
