This was your point, "main problem it lack of service needed and its projected million miles life". Then you switched to agreeing that they never developed it commercially in cars because of it being banned in racing, which is my point.

Your other point is better MPG is being withheld, and I said it is because of EPA rules which are a good thing. That's my point. Then you proved my point by saying it was a good thing because the EPA forced things like no points or distributers requiring regular expensive tune ups and 100,000mile spark plugs.
