compression ignition petrol engine, new, Mazda

"Japanese carmaker Mazda has developed a more efficient petrol engine at a time when the industry steers toward electric vehicles.
It said the compression ignition engine was up to 30% more fuel-efficient than its current engines.
It plans to sell cars with the new engine from 2019."

apparently mazda rotary drivers used to signal each other if they ever passed.   the number of fingers held up signified how many replacement engines they had fitted
