Anybody know anything about that CH701 on Zenairs site that has a
mercedes smart Diesel in it?

It got me to poking around on some european website. I found the
specs for the ford 1.4 litre diesel sold over there. Not sure how the
figures size up to gas engines currently in use. Any Opinions?

Well the ecofly looks like they are selling 2 motors on the site, the
first is mogas the second is diesel. The power ratings are displayed
for both if you scroll down the page.

It _is_ pretty impressive technology. Though the European-ness of it is
really isn't that big of a deal. All the car companies are pan-global
entities these days.

Diesel is still cheaper than jet fuel. Or isn't it? I've been too
afraid to go to the pump the past few days :-) At current prices
biodiesel does become cost effective if one could find a suitable
anti-gel agent.=20
