Sorry it does not stand to reason:

“I think what you get with gasoline vapors is what was a 200hp (or whatever) motor making 20hp instead. It does mean it will be running wide open so limiting throttle body losses, and it can run really lean (which probably puts it way outside of allowable emissions). So a regular fuel injected (and especially a direct injected) car could also easily make 120 mpg IF you were willing to live with 20hp and tailpipe emissions be dammed.”

If what is written is correct, the engine is only able to make use of 30% of the fuel fed by a carb Throttle Body Injection, Turned Port Injected and even Direct injection.

All these systems are gasoline droplets trying to convert to vapor. There is NO time for this to happen with in the combustion cycle.

SO If the fuel in converted to 100% vapor and then fed to the engine, it is said to burn much faster than any standard system and there is NO need to throw 100% of current fuel feeds to GET that 30% power making vapor.

Direct injection has already shown it to be a bad idea, unless YOUR selling the intake valve cleaning services which can be a new money maker for car dealers.

They still have the same problem getting the fuel to vaporize.

Pumping Loses are a minor problem so yes a wide open throttle is a good idea…if it can be done vapor feed might become the power controller like the fuel feed in in diesels.
