Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

reformer is applied to the intake fuel/air mixture. Research indicates that the system could boost overall efficiency by up to 30%, compared with an existing petrol engine. This would come close to rivalling modern light diesels and could impact on future light CV engine design.

ArvinMeritor reports that while the system wouldn't match diesel engine efficiency the fuel cost difference would favour the hydrogen enhanced petrol engine. It would also avoid the need for the costly NOx control systems necessary for light diesels.
