Re: Automotive myths

Yep! If there was a carb that could give 100 mpg back then,it wouldn't give but 75 on what they call gas today. Same with that Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel. Here's a myth,the reason we have these fuels now is because they are better for the environment. Now here's the fact,they create a larger profit for the oil companies at our expense. Burning more fuel per gallon produces more emissions. No math or science to it,just pure common sense.
