If you want economy, you want to recycle your lost heat.

High intake temperatures and high turbulence result in increased fuel reactivity and thus more rapid flame fronts. We all know this to be true. So, couple this condition with a ultra lean homogeneous fuel mix which is a lazy combustion mix by nature, and you can extract useful torque to putter around with.
