1. A combustion engine for combustion of an air-fuel mixture containing air and fuel, comprising:
at least one temperature adjuster configured to cool or heat the air, the fuel, and/or the air-fuel mixture; and
a controller configured to obtain a temperature of the air-fuel mixture downstream from mixing of the air and the fuel and upstream from the at least one temperature adjuster, and control the temperature of the air-fuel mixture based on a target knock value versus an actual knock value by controlling the at least one temperature adjuster downstream from compression of the air-fuel mixture and upstream from a combustion chamber of the combustion engine, wherein the target knock value and the actual knock value comprise a knock resistance or a knock probability.
