I personally do not think it would be crazy to design and build a big cube spark ignition V8 that could run on gasoline, propane, cng, or butanol, and push it for 18 wheel trucks.
Maybe pay Mazda to co-develop it.

Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel with DEF fluid and particulate filters is no longer the low cost per 500,000 mile option.


Putting a tractor trailer sized load behind a gas engine is asking for trouble. That’s A LOT of heat to deal with. It won’t be cost efficient to do tear downs that often even compared to a diesel with the emissions band aids.

I want my fair share
