I remember Detroit carmakers going through the pains of increasing fuel economy and reducing emissions in the late 1970s. A good book on thermodynamics will explain the efficiency of each type of engine. As it stands biodiesel will see more development especially for light trucks, possibly hybrid. Almost any motorcycle under 400 lb. is a gas 4 cycle these days. Has anyone had experience with a Stirling powered generator?
