Like Robot says, a gallon of conventional gasoline brings nominal 114,500 BTU/gallon, whether it's in liquid or vapor form. Smokey Yunick developed his "Hot Vapor" engine years back, and the best he did was 51mpg, but he was chasing high performance at maximum efficiency, not just mpg - smokey Ynick, Hot Vaor Fiero, Best Damn Garage in town smokey Ynick, Hot Vaor Fiero, Best Damn Garage in townLegendary Collector Cars . Those YouTube Magicians are playing games and making claims that won't stand up to actual verification. PT Barnum called it years ago....Last edited by rspears; 08-01-2014 at 09:42 AM.
