* The best diesel and gasoline engines in the world only transfer between 40% - 60% of the fuels BTU into the flywheel. The rest is lost as heat.

* There have been modern closed-loop dry-steam engines developed that, even if heated by dielel and/or gasoline, transfer more than 92% of the total BTU of the fuel source to the flywheel.

There is a clear advantage to steam and it will produce as much or more power than a gasoline and/or diesel engine with the same or less displacement at the end of the day. Problem is that there is no money in it for the oil industry or the powers (farmers that push around all the sheeple) that be.
