Yeah, but it ain't got nothing on the carburator that runs on tap water... Thats been around more than 50 years and not one auto manufacture uses it. They buried it so their buddies, the billionaire oil tycoons, can keep selling gas...

Doesn't Ford sell a diesel powered car in Europe that gets 60 mpg? It was all over the internet so it has to be true, right?

True, otherwise we would be driving around on tap water...

Theoretically if I could power my truck with salt water, the worlds oceans would be my gas station. Obama Ben Laden and his fellow socialists would have to tax the shit out of something else to power the destruction of the free market.

Look what they did to the water carburator! Where have you been...
Actually, I think some billionaire oil tycoon paid a spook to bury the water carburator guy in the bottom of some huge oil tanker, otherwise we wouldn't be caring much about engine efficiency would we.

That'd be nice. What's the heat content of 1 mol of seawater?
Some nations taxed salt very heavily. You might be surprised who, which, and how much.

as the cars they produced were on a truck platform.
counted in CAFE.
efficiency was castigated.
My 2001 GMC 4 wheel drive V8 pickup truck got 19 mpg on a trip with 4 LARGE adults and about 10 cases of beer, 5 cases of pop, food clothes and misc stuff packed in the bed. It gets 13 mpg around town, less in 4 wheel drive... still, not running on water.

I think the government should ban cars completely as a waste of resources. A truck halls people just like a car, but is easier to get in and out of than a pot hole with wheels on it. In a truck you can hall people, 2x4's, 2x6's 2x8's 2x10's 2x12's, full plywood sheets, fire wood, stoves, refrigerators, people, shingles, dogs, baseball teams, horse manure, people, brush, logs, scrap metal, table saws, band saws jointer's, planers, furniture, dog kennels, cat houses, people and a few other things I can think of. Why would anyone waste money on a damned car that does almost nothing?
I sure hope no wood workers drive cars around here... sheesh!

My brand new 1978 GMC Van with a small 305 V8 averaged 10 mpg... I guess GM didn't know about the government requirements?

Damned if I know, but theoretically, if it contained enough heat to drive me from here to Florida and back, I wouldn't need to worry about big oil hiring a spook to kill off this internal engine breakthrough.
All I need to know is the big oil tycoons make less on a gallon of gas they sell than the government does... well, it makes me feel a lot better also knowing that every damned penny the government gets from Big Oil comes out of my pockets.

Hey, maybe the government is the one hiring the spooks to bury the water carburator guy and the small engine guy for threatening their money stealing machine.
Yeah, now were getting somewhere... now that I think about it, they don't even have to hire any spooks, they already have the CIA.
Oops, sorry Jack, didn't mean to butt into your brilliant conversation...

The free market seems to be doing a dandy job of destroying itself all by its little lonesome.

With a bit of ingenuity you could use the waste heat to drive a Stirling engine to power the aircon in summer :-)

Free market? Yeah, if banks hadn't been forced/incentivized to make home loans to people who couldn't afford to repay -- that wasn't free market -- that was Barney Frank, Chris Countrywide Dodd, et al who initiated that debacle.
Free market right now is doing just fine on the oil price front. That will be fixed pretty quick I'm sure when The One starts meddling with those carbon credits and other mechanisms to combat an imagined and propagandized environmental threat.
