Future Motor Designs?

Was on a tractor board tonight and came across this link regarding six stroke motor designs. Turns out there are several designs and they all essentially reduce fuel consumption by 40%, eliminate air pollution, significantly reduce carbon monoxide, eliminate the need for a cooling system and have essentially the same power output as the same sized four stroke motor. Never heard of a six stroke motor but after reading the information it makes sense. Sign me up for an RL with a V-8 SIX stroke motor and an eight speed automatic transmission. 40 miles per gallon, 400 hp and living large!

Scuderi Split Cycle

Another high efficiency engine concept that supposedly is being considered by automakers. This one sounds plausible to me.
