If someone could build a resepctable regenerative braking system we could recoop 50-70% of the energy!
I think if the adiabatic IC engine could ever be developed it might pull 50% thermal efficiency. This is an engine that has NO cooling. It's actually insulated and run as absolutely hot as possible. The efficiency comes from the huge difference in combustion temperature and the operating environment. So far these engines challenge materials science a little too much.
