I think I've gotten my head wrapped most of the way around the idea, but I'm still parsing the above sentence.
It seems like reclaiming waste heat from the exhaust would be a no-brainer in boosting efficiency. So why would it stall? Is the fuel
that effective at sopping up exhaust heat? Or is it because carburetors were involved and you can't control the mixture dynamically?
