From the engineering of electronic fuel injection to numerous piston and valve configurations, the combustion engine has evolved considerably over the last several decades. With incredible time and money invested, it’s hard to neglect the potential for enhanced fuel efficiency on this existing technology platform – there is still much room for improvement.

Entirely new forms of alternative energy must compete with sophisticated combustion engine technology. The infrastructure that supports gasoline driven automobiles is also comprehensive. For these reasons and others, the next generation of more efficiency and “clean” automobiles could be derived from existing combustion engine technology. Hybrids and natural gas driven cars are both examples. Further, new and unrelated discoveries often bring about solutions to previously unsolved problems. It’s not too late to revisit old technology, but from a different point-of-view altogether.
