I'm not disputing that there are ceramic based engines out there or that they are more effiecent than iron/alloy engines. I'm just suggesting that some of the claims might be exagerated a bit as often happens when these stories get passed along. I'd love to see a whole new class of engines that could double fuel economy. It would be an OPEC nightmare (unless of course we all decide we need to double our horsepower as opposed to our fuel efficency - how about a 1,000 hp 600SL?)
