I saw the documentary Gashole a few months ago. I do think that it like most documentaries has an element of propaganda. But being a car guy for years this idea of a vapor engine seems to me to hold some merit. Tom ogle was a guy in the 1950 that invented a system that he claimed gave his 5000 pound car 100mpg. http://fuel-efficient-vehicles.org/energy-news/?page_id=787 The movie Gashole is on hulu. http://www.hulu.com/watch/231050/gashole
The idea is that you can heat up gasoline to a pressurized vapor and only burn this. Also add humidity and compression ratio.
I would love to see if all us gear heads could come up with a working experiment to see if this really works.
