OT??
Anyway, the answer is YES. I believe Mitsubishi has had it in production for a
few years. I'm pretty sure that most auto companies, and major fuel-system
suppliers (Bosch, Delphi...) have been working on it too. There are probably
other DI gas systems that are in production now, but I don't know whose.

General impression is that it improves mpg by 10% or so.
