Low compression, spark ignition engines have much lower thermal efficiency than high compression diesels. Why can't the A**holes in Detroit see this? VW produces an eco-diesel/electric hybrid, BMW and Mercedes sell turbo eco-diesels in Europe that outperform all mid-sized American cars. Americans know how to make eco-diesel fuel from algae, various plants and sewage. Why can't we copy a Mercedes engine and put it in a Ford? too proud, or too stupid?
