I dont believe it. But I saw a show about a guy who made a carberator in the early 1900s that he used on his V8 motor and end up getting close to 90 mpg. The show also said that the carberator was somehow destroyed as long with the plans. Their where guys trying to figure out how to make it again but never sucseeded. I think I saw it on discovery channel.

You can't beat the laws of physics. To drive your truck at 60 mph requires so much horsepower and to generate this horsepower requires so much fuel per hour in any given engine. Nothing can change the fact that this amount of fuel is required. Now most trucks use more than the minimum fuel but not that much more. So therefore improvements of about 2-3 mpg are possible maybe even a little more. but improvement of 20 plus mpg are not possible.
