Extreme compression ratio rather than downsizing. Although downsizing—i.e., The S-VT system is supported by the adoption of a compact electronic variable-pressure oil pump. This corresponds to a 23% reduction in fuel consumption and, therefore, CO 2 output.). A drawback to this process is destabilized combustion.
