Found this cool little site about a company called revetec.
Currently has an engine design that replaces the traditional crankshaft with trilobe cams
Currently achieves near-diesel engine levels of thermal efficiency, and they haven't even implemented such technologies as variable valve timing, direct injection, or pulse plugs into the design. All while putting out about half the emissions of a conventional engine while also reducing the size of the engine as well. I hope this becomes mainstream.

COOOL!
The smaller size alone could contribute to better mileage. (less weight, berches)

I´d use public transport if there was a bus driving at 1 am, I work nights and have 13 mile drive. I´d go on me bike if there wasn´t a huge ridge in between, tha would keep me fit as well.I reckon there are alternative possibilities to the combustion engine but
Public Transportation is always a good choice. So is carpool...but I prefer carpool better less room but better.
