Injecting gaseous petroleum into the cylinders (instead of atomized liquid)

Suppose that our fuel tank was very safe, and 100% safe from
explosions.

Instead of fuel injectors, why not heat up the fuel, and pump this
high pressure gaseous vapor into the pistons? I would like to see the
gas tank heated - kind of like a pressure cooker. And the escaping
gas vapor gets channeled into the pistons where it's further mixed
with air.

Currently, liquid gasoline is sprayed into the pistons. From what I
understand, the finer the mist, the better and more thorough the
combustion.

Since the gaseous gasoline is the limit to how finely you can atomize
the gas, I would think that this is the most optimum way to put gas
into the cylinders.
