Yes gases can burn faster but wear engine faster, but if OEMs are starting to build them that is nothing special. Ofcourse I would like to read that study to know better.

PC is not allowed in road use in Finland either and so is many other things in this project. Those are just laws that slow down the evolution and if you decide not to follow some of them you can find great new innovations, which can be legal after laws are rewritten. Somebody has to be first to do something.
