Not sure if it is the same there as here but Diesel doesn't move much on a cyclic basis. It tends to stay at a level for a while (had been AU$1.50/L for quite a while) and then moves up a bit, it's $1.60 now. Can't remember the last time Diesel moved down, perhaps never? Petrol tends to move

There was no wankel diesel. There was a diesel, and there were Wankels used in the C111. The Wankels were gas engines. I suppose there could be, but given that tip (and face) seals are the Wankel's weak point, going from 8:1 to 20:1 compression probably is, how do they say, contraindicated.

I don't believe a 20:1 compression ratio is actually possible in a Wankel. Just not enough space to move the rotor that much. Seal problems were more or less fixed by the end of the life of the Mazda RX series, the last ones to use a rotary engine in the US, but emissions were terrible as
