It was worth a watch for sure. The later half was more of the same big oil stuff but it did show some great history and got me really thinking about engine efficiency. I really like the concept of vaporizing fuel and injecting gas instead of liquid into the cylinders. This concept makes a lot of sense. I suspect explosion risk may be why this is not done.
