Milford, IL | Miller cycle generally requires a positive displacement supercharger (usually roots style) to compensate for valve timing that differs from traditional four stroke gasoline engine.
GM, Chrysler variable displacement lifters (AFM, displacement on demand) are completely unrelated and not Miller cycle.
Peak gasoline engine was before Barry's insane CAFE fuel economy rules, needless complexity now to eek out that last 0.04 mpg. We are way past the point of diminishing returns.
Toyota seems to do the hybrid thing better than anybody else, and I agree with you that when they do need service the complexity factor is very high. | |
