Interesting stuff.
I know oil is used as a lubricant in two stroke engines, but I thought in four strokes it affected the efficiency.
Having said that, I had Honda VTEC that used to drink oil but apparently that was normal.

The big difference between modern engines
Is how you run it:
An engine built to run at a constant 750 Rpm (to produce 50Hz) where only the load varies,
is far easier to fully optimise than having one with a power-band of 500 to 1500 Rpm.
For one, I cannot comprehend why hauling vehicles are not diesel electric.
Apart from the sector being traditionalistic.
