I found this info on that website: " Wouk's car (a Buick Skylark), which he built with Dr. Charles Rosen, had a Mazda rotary engine half the size and power of the Skylark's standard V-8 and an electr

I never put the car on an analyzer, but. . . We had a 1974 RX-4 w/rotary engine. Strong! Smooth! Quiet! Great top speed! More than a quart of oil/1,000 miles when we bought it, used, with 20,000 mile

Rotaries are pretty clean now but you're right that they have had emissions troubles. The culprit is the long narrow combustion chamber which forces a rich mixture due to heat loss through the metal.

The truth is...the rotary engine was very dirty. If you remember the advertising in the early seventies, they touted it as very low emissions. That was accomplished by catalytic converters before the

Think working in the other direction.... the other engine is a percentage greater that 100% or bieng dirtier.. Dave
