       | Electric will expand, gas and gas taxes will increase

       | increase and demand decreases. Many will buy used cars and car
       | lives will increase as more repair what they have.

       | cylinder to shorten flame travel leading to more consistent
       | combustion and reduced emissions._

       |  _As the engineering involved in new engines has improved and
       | evolved, the true hemispherical chamber has morphed and twisted
       | into more sophisticated and complex designs that are meant to
       | extract more power, with lower emissions, from any given
       | combustion event._
