TL;DR: In this paper, an alternative fuel is defined as one whose production does not depend on natural crude oil from wells, and it is shown that most promising alternative engine fuels, except vegetable oils, are better suited to spark ignition than to compression ignition due to their poor octane numbers and good octane number.
Abstract: There will be a need for alternative fuels to power spark-ignition engines. (An alternative fuel is defined here as one whose production does not depend on natural crude oil from wells.) Most promising alternative engine fuels, except vegetable oils, are better suited to spark ignition than to compression ignition due to their poor octane numbers and good octane numbers. Thus increased use of such fuels will tend to increase rather than decrease the market proportion for spark-ignition engines.

TL;DR: In this article, testing technologies such as those that DETERMINE OCCUPANT/SEAT INTERFERANCE PRESSURE, COOL AND DRY WHILE SEATED, and a SEAT'S ABILITY TO KEEP ITS COCCUANT COOL and DRY while sitting may help to quantify the HIGHLY SUBJECTIVE DETERMINATION of SE
