Is this like the 200 mpg carburetor that can't be used because it explodes?

Heh.

Maybe I should sell my 200 mpg carbs before they become worthless?

Nah, then the secret would be out and Congress would pass some new laws of physics that would really screw things up.

Sorry for the negativity. I did a project for College in which I took a 58 Chevy pickup with a 283 in it and the best I could do was 16-18 MPG normal driving and 24 on a trip. Smokey Yunnick converted a small block Chevy to get 35 MPG or 1000 HP. It did not work because of detonation. The 200 MPG myth of a carburetor is extreme and requires flat land and non 4x4 which I can not live without.
