I think it also has an offset crankshaft. Now, if they would eliminate one cylinder, add a turbocharger, change fuel to diesel, reduce engine RPMs by half...they’d really be doing something.
Agree. But it would likely run smack into the CARB standards and jihad against diesels in Californiastan.
There’s a dozen or more really efficient, small diesels in cars now that get 40+ MPG on the highway that we could be using — but are not, thanks to the environmentalist mindset in California against diesels.
