I think the direct injection has a lot to with it. But they were injecting the fuel during the intake stroke, not the compression stroke which how normal DI engines function.
Also did anybody else catch the bit about the way they blended regular 87 octane gasoline with ethanol to get a 90.8 octane E10 mix The real E10 you get at the pump uses sub 87 octane gasoline specifically designed to be blended with ethanol, the end result of which is an 87 octane E10 mix. I don't think their E10 test is representative of the real world. They even admitted to it. Their RG results are more representative of what you and I would see with pump E10.
