Uhhh...by burning it.

As for the state it's kept in, I'm fairly sure it's stored under pressure in liquid form until it reaches the injectors or combustion chamber.

Honestly, I think we've just about reached the limit of our propulsion technology. Hydrogen won't work, electricty would work if you could get people on board (and that's unlikely within our lifetimes), and alternative fuels like ethanol and biodiesel are so pathetically marketed that it's no wonder that they haven't caught on. I really think car companies are announcing this kind of technology so they can pretend they're making advances. Not just in environmental arenas, but advances period. Hell...I'll bet it's just a matter of time before they propose a nuclear powered car. Shit...it's only marginally less safe than hydrogen.
