Actually Lonewolf where I live when I had to buy a new vehicle (because my old car died) I had a choice. I could buy the truck, I could buy a fully loaded car for $7K more (only thing they had on the lot at the time was fully loaded vehicles except for pickups) or I could walk 47 miles home. No gun to my head, but might as well have been. I got a truck with the best milage I could get, I got a crew cab because it was the same price as a fully loaded single cab (they only had fully loaded single cabs) and it was a base model no bells and whistles. Three weeks later the "employee pricing" started and the truck was $9k less, and I was stuck with what I had.

Dunno a thing about cars running on water (unless you mean steam driven early vehicles in the old west) but the 100mpg carb made the papers in the early 80s in Houston Texas. They talked about it for about a month then poof nothing. Marvin Zindler (eyewitness news) did a story about the inventor leaving no fowarding address. You want proof do the research, I was living in Houston at the time and it was all my grandparents and every other adult could talk about. Good luck finding much in the way of information most of it these days has gone the way of the inventor himself. IE No forwarding address.

Yes I believe a large company wouldn't jump all over it and corner the market. There would be no faster way to get yourself killed by Big Oil (from inside OR outside the country) than to market something that gave you that big a break in fuel millage. Youa re talking about potentially costing a corporation BILLIONS a year. You would have to be pretty naïve not to see that it would get you killed.

I am not talking about class warfare. I am talking about execs who spend hundreds of thousands of dollars of their companies money on BS while they whine about the companies going under.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
