I first heard of this 200 MPG carb back in 1974
during the alleged gas crisis. Story then was that
the mechanic developed this carb, GM bought the
unit, rights, parts and documentation and promptly
put it in the incinerator. Unless we figure someway
to modify the laws of physics and thermodynamics and
probably more of that stuff that I don't understand
the math, it ain't gonna happen.
