Slightly off-topic, why has no-on mentioned diesel engines (that run on
Jet-A1)? This has got to be the way to go, better economy, better operation
at altitude, simpler mechanicals (less to break) and FADEC/ECU controlled?

Actually, because of the higher compression ratios, the mechanicals are not simpler.

For the majority of GA this has got to be the long-term answer, even in the
US.

I agree. They are more expensive than gas-burners, but it will be nice when it
becomes possible to replace my O-320 with a diesel in the 180hp range (IMO).
