Perhaps. I haven't looked into that.

As for the rest there is so much to cover...Like: We no longer really need the Cat convertor with today's computer controlled system BUT IT IS IN THE LAW and cannot be changed...and just because of a few seconds the car might pollute.

Perhaps. I haven't looked into that. Then again, the cat isn't hurting fuel efficiency so meh.

AND ever watch Top Gear??

A mixture of entertainment sensationalism and fact. Like just about ALL of our media these days, be careful what you take to heart as "fact".
So... what about Top Gear?

They can but cars over there that get 75MPG.
Diesel yes BUT 35 to 75 MPG cars...Why??

Imperial gallons. They're bigger. I
know this ground has been covered before.

Consider what would happen if car makers did start selling such cars here....the government departments that make their money off cars would have a fit..
Consider how much money gas taxes bring in.

They can- and will- raise the rates.

Consider how "they" have outlawed bio diesel in many states??
Consider how IF you do run bio-diesel you better pay your road taxes.

P.S. The premise is false. Bio-diesel is legal everywhere.
Even with regular diesel they pout if non-road-taxed ag diesel gets used inappropriately. It's a different color so The Law can easily test it.
When they decide too many non-road-taxpaying users are out there they'll switch to a miles driven tax collection system.

The highest MPG in a car is officially 375MPG...A Shell oil company MPG test/competition a couple of decades ago.
Granted it is not a drive-able car but 375MPG...

There was an immense amount of cheating with that car in addition to the physics advantages of counting- what- 80% of the miles while coasting at an average what- 15 mph. I
know this has been explained before too.

And so much more..
Bet this will end in up in the "The Unicorn Corral" soon, been there before...
|
Things only end up there for a good reason.
Theoretically a Unicorn could be released from the Corral if it proves true. Has never happened though.

I was hoping to get some real help this time, but it is not looking too hopeful...

I'm still waiting for your help with my math in my first post here.
