Irrelevant to what follows, but maybe you are having a slow day.

Fuel injectors do heat up the fuel because it is being pumped.

That is the whole point of fuel injection.

While we're at it, let's add some sensors such as power demand and
combustion efficiency and control the injectors in real time.

Oh, wait, modern fuel injection already does that.

You don't get out into the real world much, do you?

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?

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.
