As I stated in my that I was thinking in more of my own terms and engines I was familiar with. Retrofitting a supercharger on existing motors to assist in their economy will be difficult and just not worth it in most cases. when you say that new and future technology a car that is designed to run at higher compression the Yes sure it was designed to run on pump gas. Just not going to say that ALl cars can jsut bolt on an Eaton M32 and away they go cause it doesn't work like that.
