I was rabbitholeing physics videos and came across vacuum boiling water. Could we safely vacuum boil gasoline, I wonder?

They say that the fuel "atomized" when it is injected into the cylinder but that is obviously a misnomer, as it's more like misted, like a windex shot. "Molecularized" would be more proper but the fuel is still in liquid form anyway so whatever.

I'm sure gasoline fume is what actually burns so just pumping that into the engine instead of liquid would drop the consumption without losing horsepower, I think.

Sounds dangerous but with the right measures in place I think it could work, maybe with a carburetor instead of direct injection.

Thoughts?

Mist you say...

Mist & vapor are almost synonyms. It just comes down to droplet size. ICEs have gone through more than a century of fine tuning. I'm sure they've got optimal droplet size figured out.

No. Almost is not the same. And the scientists are probably all owned by jews.
