Way back in 1973 it was possible to get 376mpg. That
was in the guiness book of records from back then.

Some experimenters were able to get 200+ mpg back
then.

That was before aircon, automatic door locks, airbags
and efi.

Anyway, we all know it's not easy to get any dramatic
increases without dramatic enhancements.

Just google "376 mpg" and see what comes up.

It's interesting reading and it would be lovely to see
this on a nearby car in the near future.
