"ChuckSlusarczyk" wrote in message ... In article , Roger Halstead says... I wonder why they use such a low compression ratio? Even car engines running regular usually run 8:1. This one is 6.3:1. It would reduce the stress on the parts, allowing less expensive materials than a reliable high compression engine. I guess they can also use lower octane fuel as well. Chuck 6.3 to 1 is the compression ratio for the Continental A-65, which loves 80 octane avgas when it can find it.
