...Spark-Ignition Direct-Injection (SIDI) for gasoline engines is the "next BIG thing"--Toyota, GM and Ford are using it already with 10-15% increases in both HP and fuel economy and 10-15% decreases in emissions.

...to be followed by Homogenious-Charge Compression-Ignition (HCCI) which is essentially a gasoline-fed diesel engine that reverts to spark-ignition when compression-ignition cannot be reliably maintained.
