compression ratio on pump gas

10.5 was mentioned in a recent Ford TV commercial. The engineers have only recently figured out how to run higher compression and get more hp than cid from their production engines. They're using electronics to control the throttle responce ( rpm ramp ). skew the fuel/air ratio, the valve timing, and the spark timing to efficiently burn todays puppy pee pump gas.
Those engines are supposed to last at least as long as it takes to pay off the loan too. Will the engine last that long ? remains to be seen.
Can we do the same with naturally asperated old school engines ? I dont think so.
