Xist bringing up the Shell Eco Racer as a parallel to the Pogue Experiment is relevant in that they are similar exercises. Most people who use the Pogue carb as a miracle device do not look deep enough into the experiment to realize it is impossible to separate the other variables that contributed to the 200 mpg end result.
I agree with you, I have not used the Poque carb as a point...I can see it could NOT produce such MPG in a real world car driven normally.

It at best could only produce a little vapor and at best given a small improvement in MPG.

There was no system to completely vaporize the fuel.
