An automotive power plant includes an internal combustion engine (18) and a heat exchanger (4) for vaporizing fuel to the internal combustion engine (18 ) utilizing heat from the combustion exhaust gas. The vaporized fuel may be fe d to a combustion cylinder (7) containing the compressed gas produced by a compression stroke. Alternatively, the vaporized gas may be fed to a dedicat ed expander (20) for extracting work therefrom and then fed to the internal combustion engine (18).
