Spark plug ignition timing is variable so nano seconds or micro seconds doesn't mean much. Starting the fire in the middle will help some on some engines, but others won't work as well. Spark plugs last over 100,000 miles these days and are cheap. Now, if you install multiple lasers with adjustable target areas then you could control combustion by varying the ignition timing, varying the ignition location and, when/if needed, creating multiple ignition points to create customizable flame fronts that can be manipulated electronically. Then you might have something. Don’t get too excited, it will only make a small improvement. Spark plug ignition timing is variable so nano seconds or micro seconds doesn’t mean much.

However the cost will always be the factor that dictates the use of the new technology.

This could be a revolutionary invention for years to come. This seems like a really good idea, considering that our fuel economy is not the best.
