IL Reports: Engineers Say Gasoline Engine Isn’t Dead

Millions are being spent trying to squeeze more and more efficiency from traditional engines. Many of these were on display at the 2006 Society of Automotive Engineers World Congress here earlier this month.

Take, for example, the Scuderi Split-Cycle Air-Hybrid Engine, which offers promise for more efficiency, greater performance and lower emissions from piston engines. The Scuderi Group claims its design will reduce emissions by 80 percent, triple fuel economy and enhance power output compared to current gasoline and diesel engines.
