Hydrocarbons also don’t travel very far. Fuel Injected Two-Strokes produce fantastic power at minimal fuel consumption, without the excess hydrocarbons, but their development has been stymied by laws directed at conventional 2-cycle engines. The emissions regulations we use today were designed back in the 70′s to ‘go easy’ on the major car companies. The EU uses a kg/km kilograms to kilometers emission rating that is much fairer to all modes of transportation.
