Me too.
I try to stick with proven stuff like aerodynamics and reducing accessory drag and stay away from the pseudo science stuff.
Not going to screw with something for hours chasing gains that aren't even measureable.
If fuel vapor systems worked so well then why don't propane engines see big gains over gasoline engines?
Propane is a superheated gas under atmospheric pressure at room temperature, it doesn't get any more vapor than that.
If my lawn mower burned 2 ounces of gas in 23 seconds it would go through a full tank of gas in less than 6 or 7 minutes. If it burned an ounce a minute it would run out in under half an hour. It runs for a little more than a half hour, actually cutting grass, I let it grow until its as tall as the mower can handle before cutting it.
Might want to retest that one or fix your mower.
The only thing "special" I do for it is run ethanol free gas, run 20w-50 weight oil in the crank case and put a little bit of shindowa red armor 2 stroke in the gas.
