"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.
So go edit it. Wikipedia is open.

I tried it one time and it did not work. Is there somebody that
edits the edits? What happens if two editors are diametrical opposed.
Does it oscillate? :)
