Cool. My first car was a 1974 yellow-green Maverick. It ran well, but the body rusted like crazy thanks to lots of salt on the roads during New England winters.

Sure, if you lean the mixture on any combustion engine you’ll get better fuel mileage, if it will keep running that way.

My understanding is that all cars can be tuned or "chipped" to increase fuel efficiency at the cost of power and acceleration.
As long as Americans continue to demand that even their Camry's need to be quick off the mark we will continue to have relatively poor gas mileage.
I once got a test drive in the latest performance version of the Camry. Yes, it was fast and performed well, but it will never beat a BMW and what's the point? If you settle for a Camry then you ought to get better gas mileage rather than faster 0-60.

Perhaps the article forgot to mention that this Maverik got 41 miles per gallon.

I do not believe this claim. Carburetion is not the primary cause of inefficiency in an engine.
I think this whole thing is a set up to get views the way so much is on youtube.

I follow ThunderHead289 on U-toob. He is part of the “new generation” of engineers, mechanics, and tinkerers who will (hopefully) carry automotive engineering forward beyond us ol timers. He appears to have natural antibodies to wokism that plague so many of his generation.
Interesting (if not terribly practical) experiment.
