Right so all of you have build a pure 100% gasoline vapor system and tested it??
Sorry I missed that response.
I used to believe that getting 30MPG in a full sized car was nearly impossible, yet I currently drive a 2000 Mercury Grand Marques that gets 27 MPG Stock, and can get 35 MPG at 65 MPH.
AND has plenty of performance.
And out of a 4.6 which is smaller than a 289 CI engine.
How?? By Fuel injection using Port injection at the end of a Tuned port intake with a 4 speed transmission and running under 2000 RPMs @ 65 MPH.
My 1993 Chevy van can do 16 to 19 MPG stock with a TBI system.
I was hoping to try a TPI system on it some day.
I have read of the 80s Camaro getting 30 MPG+ when a setting in the CPU called a lean burn cruse setting is programed ON.
Same set up as my Mercury. Port injected TPI.
Big jump in MPG from the 70s when the best was around sub 20MPG to now 30MPG and more is common.
I have read a number of articles stating on how much power pure vapor gasoline produces and how much volume of vapor you can get out of a gal. of gas and it can be a lot.
Someone said something about steam engines, OTHER that the BIG boiler consider how unbelievable powerful that engine is, two little pistons, really small compared to the rest of the engine, can not only pull the engine and its caboose AND a very long and heavy TRAIN using water vapor.
90% of the engine is just to convert water into steam....
So I still think it can be done.
