Plus 15% efficiency is pure ad-man's hype. Plus 1% would be more like it.

There are a lot of car companies on the ropes and MPG is a hot selling point. If they could really deliver a 15% improvement with Rankine cycle compounding, why don't they? Could it possibly be they know they cannot deliver?
