What Mazda has done with their Skyactive engine by heating the intake air has allowed them to use 87 vs 91 octane with the same horsepower output. The new engine they are supposed to come out with in 2019 that uses compression (like a diesel) instead of spark plugs for ignition, promises a 25% better fuel economy on the highway - when the engine does not use its spark plugs. Interesting - if it works as advertised and if it is robust enough to last 100,000 + miles - unlike the original Mazda Wrankel engine. Some neat stuff on the horizon for gas engines.
