High-compression engines that squeeze the most work out of each drop of fuel are the engines of the future. When a car burns gas while sitting at a stop light or idling at the curb, it’s wasting the valuable high-octane fuel better used for acceleration. Unfortunately, these engines exacerbate engine knock. Heldebrant, John C.
