100 MPG Carb
This is one of those things that will never go away. PT Barnham was right.
Playing with muscle cars with mouse motors PORT AND POLISH anything that would hinder the smooth flow of air. The more efficient the air flow the more efficient the engine if I remember all that stuff correctly.
But I do have several sets of magnets left over from the farm that if taped on the fuel line precicelly 2" from carburator they will change the molecular structure of the fuel giving a 25% increase in horsepower and result in a 15% mileage increase. I'll let them go for $50.00 a set.
Frank, Art no bidding wars please.

Let me be sure of my math..15% increase in mileage at 2" from the carb, so assuming lower improvement at distance over 2" how many sets does it take to get to zero gas used? Also could you use multiple smaller fuel lines and place each magnet at the most desirable 2" spacing?
Sad part...our US Congress would buy this and make it a law the US made autos has to comply with this by so and so year. Then be proud. kt

Maybe not congress, but certainly California and the CARB would study it.......

A friend who does some car body work said you will soon only be able to use water based paints in California. Wonder if there is any paint thinner plants there? kt

Our house is sided with HardiPlank and Hardie Shingle siding. The shingles are made in California and the plank was made in some other state. We wanted to buy the siding pre-primed. That wasn't a problem for the plank siding, but since the shingles were made in California, and since that plant didn't have enough pollution control credits, we had to buy them unprimed and send them out to a local company to have them primed. The CARB is nuts. If they go to strictly water based paints I hope all the auto manufacturers close their California plants. Serves 'em right.

It is always kind of interesting going to the state fair and seeing everything from magic dodads for your carburetor all the way to the amazing butcher knife that would slice clean thru a brick and still slice fresh baked bread. Both with a lifetime warranty of course. I wonder if Billy Mays and the Sham Wow guy got started doing the fairs? Frank.

smokey yunick ??? of turbo buick /indy fame had a duel turbo heat exchanger that pre heated the fuel using the wasted exhaust. which makes sense due to the fact it takes energy to convert any type of matter from a liquid to a gas to burn it anyway (which a carb only vaporizes at best),spun it through a turbo and put the pressure to the intake. If I recalled the article properly he got close to 600hp in performance mode and 50 + mpg in a grand national 3.8 liter in the 80's
really don't know if the added cost would out weigh the benefits of a stop and go city driving but someone that does a lot of highway driving would
I believe the government and big business has suppressed all kinds of technology all for the fear of the dollar.

I'm not sure that process would accomplish very much.
Conventional wisdom (read physics) says you want the air/fuel mixture going into the engine to be as cold as possible in order to capitalize on both the reduced volume of intake product meaning you get a better fuel/air charge, and the added expansion increasing the overall 'kick' of the ignition or power stroke of the engine.
Manufacturers go to great length to add inter-coolers, etc., to turbo-charged vehicles for exactly that reason, to prevent the exhaust going through the turbo from pre-heating the air/fuel charge before it gets to the engine.
Best of luck.

that equation works for maximum horse power, we were talking about economy and the fact that most factory turbo/superchargers operate around 7-9 psi where expensive machining like o-ringing a block and better materials do not justify the cost of something that is designed to die or rust out at 100,000 miles. there are thresh holds were one drops off and one gains like horsepower vs torque
I believe that hybrids are the way to go like diesel/electric locomotives ,a few manufactures are looking in this direction already. One was ford with a bio- diesel 2-stroke over in Europe.I loved the sound of my step fathers L-9000 Detroit !!!!
fuel economy is something that only a movie star can afford because the government has yet to get real serious about giving real tax breaks or incentives to the average joe /soccer moms to pursue our independence of foreign oil !!!!
