200 MPG Supressed

Topic started on 27-10-2005 @ 08:45 PM by voltima666
Oil Industry Suppressed Plans for 200-MPG Car The original blueprints for a device that could have revolutionized the motor car have been discovered in the secret compartment of a tool box. A carburetor that would allow a car to travel 200 miles on a gallon of fuel caused oil stocks to crash when it was announced by its Canadian inventor Charles Nelson Pogue in the 1930s. But the carburetor was never produced and, mysteriously, Pogue went overnight from impoverished inventor to the manager of a successful factory making oil filters for the motor industry. Ever since, suspicion has lingered that oil companies and car manufacturers colluded to bury Pogue’s invention. www.talkaboutautos.com... mod edit to add link and shorten quote [edit on 27-10-2005 by DontTreadOnMe]

from here 1945 Carburetors marked "POGUE CARBURETOR, DO NOT OPEN" were used on unnamed source American Army tanks throughout WWII but were removed from circulation after the war ended. (see 1/7/36) (See 1981, Ultra-Lean carburetors) if you check that page you will see lots of carburetor designs were suppressed throughout the history of automobiles.

Why wouldn't the auto industry not produce cars that would result in a loss of money for them????
