"A related cause for unexpectedly poor fuel economy involves an inherent
weakness of the Wankel rotor design when used with conventional fuels.
Some studies have indicated that at high speeds, the rate at which the
volume of the combustion chamber increases in the moments after ignition
actually outpaces the expansion of the burning fuel. The result is that,
at high speeds, less useful energy is extracted from the same volume of
fuel, as the exhaust has to expend time and energy "catching up" to the
rotor before it can accomplish any work."

If that is the case then why is the HP of this 12A p-port engine
continuing to rise in almost a linear fashion all the way to 8800 RPM?
I think this is BS.
