And yes I know you can get a permit...but all the cost on my Car will only give me about 4 to 6 more MPG.

Look to overseas to see...VW had a Diesel car rated at 75MPG, and there are/were others with high MPG...

It's basically outlawed as you once said about vapor carbs, both for the same reason because they are doing the same thing. VW has one over 100mpg and that is not steady state cruise 100mpg but real world EPA type testing 100 mpg. But it doesn't meet emissions. In Montana even if any of this stuff was illegal you could do it as there is no testing or enforcement. I bet a lot of other states are the same.
