I wonder if there is a way to collect your exhaust gases, and then pressurize them in a tank so that it can then be injected into the cylinder for one more cycle and a spark will be applied to burn off any extra fuel, but the main propellant will be the pressure of the gas going into the cylinder...much like an air car.
