The engine of the future

First the rotary engine was to take over, then some weird engine which never made it to any cars.

If you read Motor Trend mags from the 1970's the thought was V8 engines and maybe gasoline engines all together would be gone by the 1990's

I'm making no guesses about the future but would not shock me if in 2050 there still be V8 engines in some normally priced cars

I know Carter--I mean Obama wants us to have 55 mpg cars by 2025 but look what Jmmy wanted and look what happen


Good points. Politics aside. It really doesn't matter how much gas milage is improved, the price will just keep rising with it. The days of cheap gas are over untill an alternate fuel source is developed.
