It has become routine. You get in your car, turn the key, put the transmission in gear, hit the gas and off you go. But, have you ever stopped to think what it takes to make your car run? Powering a vehicle down the road requires thousands of parts all working together. In response to your instructions, they manage a continuous flow of energy as the car accelerates, cruises and brakes – all the while providing optimum efficiency and fuel economy.

When discussing car engines, efficiency is measured by how much of the energy in gasoline is actually converted into power that moves the car down the road. Sadly, even with regular car maintenance such as a tune-up or an oil change, today’s gasoline engines are only around 30 to 35 percent efficient, which means roughly 65 cents out of every dollar you spend on gas goes to waste. To address this issue, automakers and their suppliers are investing tremendous resources to increase engine efficiency, meet EPA fuel economy standards and reduce exhaust emissions.
So:
100% fuel energy input>
30% Effective power,(pushed the piston down)
35% Exhaust Heat,(still burning fuel, and left overs for catalytic convertors.)
30% loss to coolant in heat
5% friction and parasitic losses

Currently, up to 65% of the heat energy produced in internal combustion engines, whether gasoline or diesel, is wasted. Typically, the powertrain or engine dissipates the heat by convection, where it is carried to the cooling circuit or lost out of the tailpipe in exhaust gases.
So now to my idea, based on the idea and claim that part of the reason for so much waste IS the slow conversion of liquid gasoline to a vapor state within the combustion chamber and how no mater how find a mist is sprayed into it on 30/35% is converted to vapor in time to make power, the rest is burned after the power stroke, then during the exhaust stroke on its way out of the head and still burning going though the exhauset headers and to the first catalytic convertors.
The claim is IF we can convert gasoline 100% to vapor before it is fed into the combustion chamber six things will happen.
One, complete combustion.
Two, only say 30 or less of the fuel will be needed.
Three, engine will run MUCH cooler.
Four, four Exhaust gasses might be much cleaner perhaps below current requirements due to more complete combustion.
Five, Perhaps more power due to not compressing against expanding gasoline already burning during the last 30/40 degrees of crank rotation.
Six, using much less fuel could/should mean much better MPG.
