Tracy,
That is the problem, cost. The idea of a heavy-fuel engine often comes up, but it rarely makes sense except in Europe where the cost of gas is higher than Jet-A by enough to make it viable. Then it would only work if you got the same or better mileage.

I liked the Experimenter ezine but the article on heavy fuel was a bit lame.? Yes, you can (with some difficulty) make a spark ignited heavy fuel engine but so what?? What does it get you??? The efficiency is no better, and the power is less.? The fuel is more expensive.

The military is interested in this for the purpose of fuel commonality only.?? 

Tracy? (sorry to be a downer)
