I remember reading about Smokey and this type of engine but thought it was in an old 80's Car and Driver. The motor and process (adiabatic process) they were talking about was either in a Dodge omni or charger.

50mpg doesn't sound like much today for that small of an engine. I remember some Geo Metros getting mid 50's mpg in the 90's without any trickery. Even the Honda Insight seemed to get better than 50 mpg if driven right. Wonder what this process could do today with the current technology.
