Posted for "George Braly" <gwbraly@gami.com>:

  Diesels do the high CR for a couple of reaons.
  
  One, it IS more efficient,  but the returns get meager.
  
  But, more importantly,  they need the high compression to get reliable
auto-ignition (ie primary detonation) - - since they do not have a spark.
  
  Regards,  George

"""
  Does this mean that the only reason diesels are 22:1 is that it takes that
much to get
  the fuel to burn?
