It was the Arab Oil Embargo of October,23,1973 that really got me interested .
Even though I'd driven a Morris Minor 1000 and a Rambler American,fuel economy never rang the bell quite like gas rationing.

The premise for the Pogue,Fish,and other carburetors was 100% fuel 'vapor' being introduced into the engine,rather than droplets,and hoping engine heat would flash off the liquid before it entered the combustion chamber.
