This a new ignition system, not fuel system. The thing that would concern me is carbon deposits covering the focusing lens, which would block the laser......unless the laser would "burn" the carbon off the lens.......

that could be neat and a good way for ford to get ahead of the government fuel regulations if it will use less fuel like what i got from reading that.
