The Sterling is TOO HEAVY! If you used 1500lbs of batteries in your electric car you wouldn't need the Sterling! Let it die already! plox and many thanks.

Second instinct, water injection is better for engines that operated at higher temperatures and need the cooling. The FE is minimal at low throttle and low temp where we need it.

Third, "The only known major hazard is condensation of water in the oil." He doesn't solve that problem. Two of our vehicles have leaking head gaskets, sure they run but it's not a condition to strive for and it's only temporary.

And if you mention the sterling again I will tell you really bad jokes. Bad as in not funny. Eg, 7000 rpm..."WHEE FUEL ECONOMY!" *boom!* "oh."
