    A smaller clearance volume means a higher compression. A higher compression means better thermal efficiency. However a compression ratio too high might be troublesome, as it can cause accidental ignition of the fuel-air mix. This is the reason why Otto cycle engines have lower compressions that Diesel engines. In a Diesel engine the mix ignites by compression instead of a spark.
