Incremental Improvements Save the World

We all love to talk about breakthrough technologies that are going to revolutionize energy use and save the economy at the same time. Well, techno wannabes like me do, anyway. Here, though, is a short blog on direct injection technology that Ford is using in some of its engines, and will be expanding in the future. It results in impressive, but not game-changing, mileage and performance improvements. It's the cumulative effect of these types of changes, not very sexy or jaw-dropping, that will likely get us closer to the goal of greater energy efficiency over the next 10 years than all the miracle processes put together.
