If I
were to hazard a guess, it's likely an emissions problem. Hyper efficient
engines typically burn fuel more completely and thereby run cleaner, but
that is not always true. This is a carbureted engine design so not sure
what nasties are being left behind in the exhaust.

The only thing preventing this from being adopted across the
automobile industry is the will to do it.
And politics. And -- I suppose -- pressure from the oil industry. But if the price of gasoline goes up to $5 per gallon these impediments will vanish.
