Ahhh, but what MPG did the vacuum cleaner get???

I'm guessing 70% more than on electricity alone LOL

I built a truck that ran on goat manure once. Had a huge tank on the back. Took me all winter to shovel it full of manure. The first time I started it up, it backfired and released 14 billion btus. All at once. Still got a piece of the shrapnel in my head.

That just the same old vapor system bubbler with a different name. Here's one. Just type in a search you'll find 100's of them that the epa has tested and they don't work. I made a bubbler for my car and no luck. Notice how these always work on carbs and not on cars that are EFI. Maybe carbs are the way to go for great FE.
