Not really as detailed as I was looking for but maybe you can answer my questions? Why can gasoline not have as high of compression? If gasoline did have the same high compression could you inject it and it be ignited in the same manner? If it could be done in the same manner which would be more efficient and so on?

That was a very interesting article, breifly informative. What is even more interesting though is jonathan’s need to point out incorrect grammar while using both incorrect spelling and grammar… yes jonathan there are two “m”s in the word “grammar”.

Great article, thanks! You explained it much easier than my husband ha! But I just saw a commercial ran by audi, and it said to buy their diesel so we don’t have to depend on foreign oil and can send it back? Now I am just as confused, how can that be if they are both (gas,and diesel) derived from oil? Any help would be great if you know. Thanks again!!
