I cant help wondering who it was that wanted everyone burning lots of gas..?

The Constantinesco Torque Converter ended up pulling trains in Romania btw.
It's well worth 'getting it'.
Who can claim 100 mpg of gas at 38 mph (61kph) from a 5.58 hp engine running carbs and probably magnetos..?
Especially with 1924 aerodynamics.
Sounds 'pretty efficient' to me!
