You need to see my youtube video on rotary engine turbo compound.
The rotary has the potential to exceed the MPG of any internal combustion
engine. The exhaust valve is the villain. Did you not get that?
Perhaps I can do a better job of explaining it. Perhaps you disagree.

BTW John this new Ford/GM six speed transmission you mentioned.
Will it shift down automatically to any random gear?
In other words if I floor the accelerator will the transmission
select the best gear for the speed or must I still do that?
Seems like a one dollar computer could do that no problem.

If not do you know of any non torque converter transmissions
that will do that? The F1 boxes, as I understand them, must be paddle
shifted up and down one gear ratio at a time. Am I wrong about that?
