Petrol Compression Engine for Australia. Would it be worth it?

[irlewy86]

Thought of the day....

As we all know reducing emmisions and fuel consumption is high on the Auto makers lists at the moment. Europe seems to be ploughing ahead with Diesel Compression engines and enjoying the benifits of lower fuel costs. However in Australia the ecconomy of Compression engines is lost a little with a 17.5cpl tax placed on Diesel and a higher benchmark price from Asia. Would it be benifical for our market to see the introduction of petrol compression engines. (The ecconomy of diesel with the bowser price of unleaded). This of course would all hinge on the tax remaining on Diesel, however I still think it would be a niche market worth aiming for if the dollars start matching up.

Any ideas?
