The oil price shocks of the 1970s led the Brazilian government to address the strain high prices were placing on its fragile economy. The result is more efficient combustion, cooler running engines, lower exhaust temperatures, and increased longevity of engine life. Donovan, CEO Renergie, Inc. Use of Hydrous Ethanol in Brazil.

Thus, the researchers concluded, switching from PFI to GDI vehicles will likely lead to a reduction in net global warming. Gasoline direct-injection (GDI) engines have higher fuel economy compared to the more widely used port fuel injection (PFI) engines. For our fleet, increases in the fuel economy of 1.6% (0.5−2.4%;

A lot of very interesting work has been done by Shell Global Solutions lab, Dr. Kalghatgi, for example, where he argues that as long as the equivalence ratios are low enough, in other words that the combustion process fuel preparation is mixed enough so that one stays in the low emission window, one can see some interesting results.
