Perhaps you have followed the development of "Super Critical Fuel Injection"
by a local Camarillo company, Transonic Combustion Inc.

"We bring dramatic fuel economy improvements to existing automotive
powertrains," said Brian Ahlborn, president and CEO,
Transonic Combustion, Inc. "Our approach to energy efficiency will
help the automotive industry meet 2016 fuel economy and emissions regulations

With Transonic Combustion's technology, the fuel is heated to 400 degrees
Celsius, which turns it into a vapor, or so-called supercritical
fuel. The vapor state allows it to mix with air much more quickly
and enter the combustion chamber much faster.  "In the supercritical
state, we are able to inject the fuel more rapidly and use
significantly less fuel to achieve the same amount of work to drive
the piston."

"A modified gasoline engine installed in a 3200-lb (1451-kg)
test vehicle, for example, is getting 98 mpg (41.6 km/L)
when running at a steady 50 mph (80 km/h) in the lab."

Gee that sounds familiar.

Could that be the long lost 100 mpg carburettor? :)

A lot of fashionable green propaganda with zero technical
content.

I have the patent. Obviously the patent office
is no longer bothering to read the  pat apps :)

All those people and 70,000 square feet and no car I or
anybody else can drive? :)  I know a few automotive
journalist that would love to test it.

I'll believe it when I see it function :)

Sounds like a redo of Smoky's hot air engines. Gasoline does not vapourize
all hydrocarbon components until about 450 degrees F. Not saying somebody can
not come along with a little different slant and make something work, but if
Smoky ran into brick walls with his connections; I don't know. The cool intake
air is going to pull heat out of the fuel and have a tendency to condense it.
Knowledge right now says to inject into the cylinder or intake and the
evaporation will cool the air and make a denser charge. OOPS. Somebody got it
wrong.
