Whoever says that you can't get power and efficiency is flat out lying. Modern engines are producing more power out of a smaller engine and getting better milage. In reality, there is no difference between power and efficiency. The more efficient you make something, the less you need to do the same thing. So in a car with a more efficient design can more milage for the same power OR more power with the same milage, or a bit of both

Now this mans claims seem incredible, personally I don't believe them. I do know that turbine engines are more powerful than the internal combustion engine. By how much, I have no idea. I'll talk to one of my prof's, he is a researcher for GM, though not powertrains
