-> You're right. The theoretical maximum efficiency of gasoline is just
-> under 30% (heat into mechanical). A lot of the energy balance in the

-> theoretical maximum with this 93% figure?
I will ask him that exact question.  One of my clients just bought a
125kw diesel genset from the engineer's company and I need to finish
