Oh, and something I forgot to add into my previous post...
The technology to get extremely good gas mileage exists... or so I hear. I can't think of his exact name, but Charles somethingorother (I wanna say his last name starts with an H) developed a carburetor decades ago that was proven to get twenty five miles to the pint... which, if you do the math, works out to about 200 miles per gallon. I'll say that again- TWO HUNDRED, miles per gallon. I can't remember the specifics but it had something to do with how the gas was vaporized in the carburetor that made it so efficient. The inventor never allowed experts to personally inspect the carburetor, but did allow them to drive the car he installed it in, after which they confirmed that the car did get 200/gallon. ...Okay, I just did a Yahoo search on this. The inventor's name was Charles Pogue, and it was invented in 1935. But the story goes that when lead was introduced into gasoline for lubrication, the carburetor wouldn't work. Well... here we are today with unleaded gasoline, so what could possibly be stopping car company's from using this technology? My personal thought is, by whatever means you can imagine, the oil companies are paying the car companies not to use it. However, the original patent for this carb is still on file w/ the Patent Office. So, I call unto you, 914 owners. With all the creative minds we have on these boards, myself excluded, I urge you to pool your resources and build this carburetor again, and we shall see if the story is true... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Oh, I'd also like to note that I completely agree Americans are hardly the conservative type. For that, I blame prostitutes... not that I'm saying their company is all that bad.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |
