That's a highly interesting hypothesis you've got there. You seem to be
suggesting that fuel injection doubles as a swamp cooler. So where is
all that cold fuel vapor going to go? It seems to me that if it goes to
the usual place, the intake manifold and thence the cylinders, it would
get burned, liberating more heat than it claimed while vaporizing.
