For the most part, only diesel engines have direct injection.

But there are a few new gasoline engines that do use direct injection. The
Mitsu/Volvo engine is one.

GM has several DI engines also:

I believe one of these engines is used in the Saturn Sky roadster.

It would be nice to see this technology transferred to aero engines as it
looks like it improves fuel economy and gets more power for the same size
engine. Well, don't hold your breath....unless you jump over to
rec.aviation.homebuilt
