John,
A quick search reveals that the Honda Civic pre
combustion chamber was designed to take advantage of stratified
charge, as heavy fuel molecules ignite more easily if their bunched closer
to the spark plug and then spread to a much leaner fuel mix in the combustion
chamber. The rotary has a natural advantage as it creates stratification by
slinging the heavy fuel molecules up close to the spark plugs and can run much
leaner as a result- also no valves to burn.

George, wasn't the idea of the pre-combustion
chamber used in the original Honda Civic, something along this line of
thinking. The car was achiving over 50 miles to the gallon at that
time. JohnD

If the
fuel could be vaporized just prior to injection, and within the
motor (acting as containment) - the problem would be solved. I
don't know of anyone with the answer yet.

Group,
Possably a future fuel
injector system for our use even though designed primarily
for heavy
fuels.................Interesting................

This: From Ink Jets to Jet Engines
 A maker of propulsion systems for unmanned
aerial vehicles discovered a novel use for ink jets: they've created a
MEMS fuel injection system that can improve small engine efficiency. This
video explores how the device produces much smaller fuel droplets — down to 10 microns —
helping improve fuel mix and combustion.
