People know what they do; frequently they know why they do what they do; but what they don't know is what what they do does.

Knowledge is fun and important. Don't fall for the claim that there are only certain jobs that are 'real jobs', it's a flawed argument.

Not a chemist either but gasoline never enters a gaseous state, it always remains heavier than air..fuel injectors spray it as a finely controlled mist and mix it with a finely controlled amount of air before it's all ignited together. It can be ignited in whatever form you want, that just wouldn't be effective at powering an engine.

Wrong gasoline vaporizes very well at atmospheric pressure. When you fill a bottle with gas and take a big huff that's not a mist that's actual gas vapor you're breathing

Also being heavier than air 8snt what nakes things a liquid or gas. for examlple co2 is heavier than air but still a gas

Basically op I recommend huffing gas that will solve your problem
