If I remember correctly, back when I was doing this with GMI (in the early 1980's) the University of Saskatchewan dominated the event year after year with fuel enonomy numbers just over the 1000 mpg range.

Let me guess, it was achieved with an experimental carb that was mistakenly sold, but big oil offered 7 figures to get it back?

Sorry, I just had to.

Lmao! I haven't heard that one in a while but there are so many versions of the same tale, usually referring to it achieving 100 mpg! And the guys that have told it are all convinced its true. That "old classic" is only believed by those who know nothing or very little about carbs or how they actually work.
