just did some research on 'em. The 100+ mpg claim is totally bogus, nor did Fish ever claim that. He did claim that is was a more efficient design than any other carb out there, and that was true.

From what I see, a Fish carb is an incredibly simple design (only 17 parts, 1 gasket, and 3 moving parts). Works pretty well for racing, or so I see.

I'd love to try one out on my truck, see if I can hit 18-20 mpg, but, alas, a "new" one costs $850.
