Co-Optima’s premise is that current fuels constrain engine design—and thus engine efficiency. Engine downsizing and down-speeding are well suited to take advantage of higher-octane fuels because these engines encounter the knock limit more frequently. Higher fuel laminar flame speed expands dilute or lean operation.
