It cites a ten year jump from basic compression to higher ratios, driven by anti knock petrol and modern fuel. Experts predict further increases with engines attaining compression near 14 to 15 to 1. Roadside service stations in America may offer higher octane fuels within five years, boosting economy by about 38 percent while maintaining performance. USA labs report successful engines achieving higher compression for fuel efficiency and anti knock measures.
