Well, once I pick out your flowery prose about tipping scales and low hanging fruit, I will just get to the heart of the matter.
There is still improvement to be made on the internal combustion engine. Overhead cams, multiple vales per cylinder, variable valve timing, and electronic fuel injection are but the tip of the iceberg. Bear in mind that internal combustion engines are a 3-way compromise. Performance, economy, and emissions all have to be balanced in order for an engine to be successful. I learned that in GM emissions school long ago.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
