John: Another "Why" for your list: If OCP is so dandy, why has not GM or Daimler or Toyota or any other carmaker bought the whole company at this price? This would remove the royalty problem for the purchaser, provide a nice revenue stream if OCP ever does catch on, and ensure that the purchasing company would have full use of OCP technology any time and any way they wanted. I realize that this question is not about the technology, but I grow increasingly concerned about my investment. I am starting to believe that maybe the most likely explanation for the absence of OCP from the marketplace is that it really actually does not work as well as OE claims. After all, every favorable report about OE that I am aware of has been originated or sponsored by the company. I am not saying that the management is crooked, but they sure are inept. The current issue of Popular Mechanics magazine has a nice article about the future of automobiles. They say that IC engines will be with us for a long time, and that the next big thing is direct injection. The only system that they mention is the high pressure (non-OCP) type, which they accurately state has a problem with high sulfur gasoline. Not a mention of the better Australian technology.
