The conditions revealed by the correlation of engine andcar characteristics are so bad as to make it evident thatboth the public and engineers need a decided change inviewpoint; the public in what they demand, and the engi-neer in what to furnish and in what to educate the publicto expect. Higher Compression Ratios As an illustration of the need for change in viewpoint,let us consider the effect of using higher compressionratios. We all know that the compression ratios used inaviation engines give us much higher fuel economy thanthose used ordinarily in automobile engines. Then whynot use high compression ratios for automobile engines?We are told that higher compressions make the engineknock badly. The simplest and generally accepted way ofgetting rid
