	100mpg carburetors may be too optimistic but >70 mpg
carburetors are not.  There was some gentleman in the state of 
Washington that had such an animal.  The gas mileage was not the
problem with the carburetor, it was safety.  From the newspaper 
article I read on the topic, a gasoline preheater was used.  By the
time it got to the air-fuel mixture chamber, a manufacturer would 
have been crazy to literally or figuratively stand behind the product.
The inventor developed it, and, according to the article, the
carburetor got incredible mileage. But who wants a carburetor that
may cause a gasoline explosion.
