for a fuel that disspiates easily in air? Compression ratios are kept low, demanding a timed spark, to get the most out of it. IE a 9:1 dump truck with a gas engine has more towing ability than a 11:1 gas engine in the same truck. the fuel is way to fast to let it smack around like an inline four does with it...or inline 6.You would get the compression, and then need 35000 rpms to make up for the shear speed of loss, like a bad engine that doesn't want to run efficently...
