Found this, thought some might be interested:
The MYT engine is the result of a $4 million dollar R&D project undertaken by
Angel Labs LLC to build the ultimate internal combusion engine. Inspired by
drag racing, inventor Raphial Morgado designed the engine with a focus on
power, torque, and fuel-efficiency to meet the hefty demands of the today's
automotive applications in a lightweight package. The result was a
revolutionary design with a power-to-weight ratio up to 40 to 1, over 3,000
ft/lbs of torque, and a diesel-mode mileage in excess of 150 mpg!
The MYTT (Massive Yet Tiny) Engine, is a breakthrough of immense
proportions that will spawn the next industrial revolution and will rocket
the internal
combustion engine into the next millennium. Please spread the word.

I reviewed the website and found no mention of specific fuel consumption
(sfc), so we really do not have enough data to draw conclusions,
although the weight sounds too good to be true! (150 lb for 850 hp).
That would make your hair curl in an average homebuilt!
Yah, but think how my G-III would perform even if I did have to add
drop tanks, a fuselage tank and tip tanks. Course then I'd have to
find a longer runway on which to land or fly until I used all the
fuel.
