If a Mazda is in your future…be prepared. Starting with the next-generation SkyActiv engines, there will be NO spark plugs at all. They’ll be replaced by compression ignition, according to Road and Track.
Its official name is “Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition” and it’s a technology that promises to deliver diesel-like fuel economy from gas engines. And although HCCI isn’t a new concept, it’s mainly been used in experimental concepts and Mazda will be the first automaker to use it in production cars. It supposedly will improve gas mileage by 30% while reducing emissions, too. You can expect to see the new engine design in the 2018 Mazda3….what do you think?

"A spark is still needed to ignite the fuel at certain RPMs, and juggling the two combustion methods is a complicated puzzle that Mazda claims it has solved."
compression engines? how will it be relIable and have performance of regular engines?
if this is true then these engines will be indestructible, granted that the rings and gaskets hold up, that's the reason for diesel engines being efficient and long lasting
