Economical 2L I4
Open for ways of making it greener, more efficient and/or cheaper for the end user (maybe using some of that wasted RON). Preferably without +/- quality, it's all at 0.

I basically redesigned it from scratch and ended up with more power, better fuel economy and lower production units, although that is slightly offset by higher material costs. See what you think.
