Me neither. But I 'm following it as he/they release anything.

JMO but he/they need to be VERY, VERY cautious how they introduce and promote this. Big, Big toes could be stepped on.

What happened with the 120 MPG [capable] Carb. concept, in the late 60s, early 70s, comes to mind ?

Anything "Revolutionary" is very touchy..

What Ford and Big Oil did to the Moody Brothers and their 120 MPG Carb. in the 60s & 70s, comes to mind ?

Do you have any info on this that you can share with us? Reports, links, anything other than myths and conspiracy theory's would be awesome.

No I don't. It was too long ago and has probably been manipulated into the "Urban Legend" part of history Mike.

I cleaned up my Post to reflect that.

I was Heavy into Drag Racing in those days, and remember the debacle well tho, because "they" were Big Performance Innovator's.

Im not sure when "those days" were but I think probably every one of us here has a story that someone they knew that knew someone who took a brand new 1967 Ford Fairlane 500 with the 390 in for a minor checkup at the dealer, when this guy took the car in it ran like a champ, could do the 1/4 mile is 13 seconds and got 78 mpg on average, he picks it up from the dealer and it runs like a pig and gets 11 mpg now. He goes back and complains to the service dept and low and behold this thing had some sort of experimental carburetor on it that wasnt supposed to be released to the public.

All that aside all I can do is call BS to the fact that the internal combustion engine in an automobile (lets just say the standard V-8 for ease of discussion) has ever or will ever get 100+ mpg. The V-8 is not that technically difficult of a machine. I would think that if such a huge increase in efficiency were attainable that we would have done it by now or some one would have figured it out and lived to tell about it.

One other note of interest is that just last week Lawmakers Set Deal on Raising Fuel Efficiency, the first such mandate in over 20 years....


Oh, and heres some good reading too...... -----> 200? 300? 400 miles per gallon?

seen it a couple years ago, we looked at all that info that was provided in physics class in college and came to the conclusion that someone is dreamin big........... if it was really so, why hasn't it taken off since then?

just my opinion

The oil companies buy up all of those ideas, so that we will always have to be a slave to their oil.






































Sorry Mike, just kiddin.

I'm not.

Honda had a carb'd 4 cyl that got 50mpg and was actually fun to drive in the mid to late '80s, in the CRX Si model... then the EPA decided it's evaporative emissions were to high because the carb vented fuel fumes...

WOW Stroker.. I meant no personal Harm nor Foul.

First: I BS NO ONE. I don't Post BS.

Second: "In The Day", or "Those days" were 66 to 70, with a 425hp, Full Trick Cleveland 390, Isky roller, Edelbrock, 2 drilled, 35* canted Holley 850 Double Pumpers. HEI, Line Lok. 4800lb matched, Paxton clutch & Pressure plate with a Columbia 2 speed (3.56/4.88) "Quik-Change" rear-end. In a Tub'd, mostly Fiberglass Comet. Fun Times, for me. Street Legal, I might Add. (well kinda)

Enough Memory Lane.

Third: I wasn't referring to a "Story". I was referring to a Time. A Time when I followed the developments of an incident where a well known Racing entity did some innovative work with air/fuel mixture methods (I asked them for info/ideas on how to set-up my Holley's) and concepts... of their own design. They tested and installed one of their concepts in a 4 cylinder car that was originally made for European sales.. but made available here because of the VW, Toyota etc.. And the pending Doom of the "Oil Crisis", of the 70s.

In an attempt to show (but without getting testing/modification permissions from the car maker, or the Fuel manufacture for using their fuel in the test) that higher MPG's were attainable, with some new Carb/Intake designs.. They drove the car from Gainesville, Fl to D.C. using a Major Oil Companies fuel, Exclusively, to have receipts to verify gallons used.

I don't recall the exact numbers but it was 50+ MPGs for the trip. They claimed that with further testing, design and development.. their concept, they felt, was capable of 120 MPG >in some applications< >IF< America was willing to step away from the "Muscle Car" and the "Boat Sized Tanks".

Ears perked up, Eyes bugged out, but...They were Hammered.. by the Car Maker, supported by the Fuel Manufacturer. Had to give up all Data, design prints and anything that had to do with the idea. Or face Legal action.

ENTER.. The "K" Car and the EPA.

In the Crapper from there, until the last 10-12 years. The Turbo, Fuel injection, and all the other Brand Name Propriortory stuff that has begun to give our cars & trucks some Cahonys.

(I often wunder if any of [Their] concepts are in there, under our hoods )
