If you paid $5 for just one gallon of liquid gasoline you would actually only be paying $0.03 (3 cents) per gallon of fuel vapor.

SO You can get a LOT of vapor....out of a gallon of gasoline.
160 gallons of gasoline vapor has the same energy content as 1 gallon of liquid gasoline - minus the energy needed to vaporize it.

Engines already turn 0.02 grams of liquid gasoline into 0.02 grams of vaporized gasoline per injection event.
