And
with machine learning, technology will automatically adjust to fit each user's style to ensure they're working
at optimum efficiency.
You're still going to move
with some
efficiency because you
at least have the right kind of fuel, but you're not going to be

optimum.
Given two engines of similar weight, both operated
at their respective
optimum efficiency (i.e. maximum mechanical work done per unit of chemical enthalpy in the burnt fuel), you will end up
with similar fuel consumption for either engine type.
Unfortunately, the frequency, magnitude and timing of these pulses varies
with speed, so the volumetric
efficiency of an engine
with fixed valve timing will only be
optimum at one speed.
