Engine Enhancements
 * SKYACTIV-X by Mazda Motor Corporation
   
   Using a small spark to spread gas throughout the cylinders, SKYACTIV-X is
   able to pressurize lean fuel and burn it like a diesel engine would without
   the need for additional emissions equipment instead of burning fuel unevenly
   with a traditional spark plug ignition. The result is ample torque at all
   rpm, 30% efficiency increase and incredibly quick throttle response that will
   all improve, while running on 87 octane gasoline.
