I heard recently about something like this, I believe it was Mazda that was experimenting with it. The efficiency was supposed to largely come from the fact that it can run on duel fuel. It's supposed to have a tank for diesel, and one for gas. Depending on engine speed, load, and temperature it's supposed to adjust the mix (and it runs on the diesel ignition cycle regardless). Supposedly It can also run on strictly one or the other, but it's optimum would be while running both.
