So... WHEN was this crash?

Here's the history of Toronto Stock Exchange. Notice that the US crash of '29 brought it down but there's nothing in the 30's.

Someone else should doublecheck me on this, but I see NO reports anywhere online of an oil stock panic that led to a market crash in Canada.

Can someone find any other conflicting report? Since we've seen newspapers taken in by hoaxes recently (the "time traveler" one), and this seems to be a solo report I'm wondering if anyone has any good data.

I thought it was kinda suspicious when no corroborating details could be found (like a Toronto crash of oil stocks.)

Link to the Pogue plans and an engineer who tried them out. Needless to say, there's no way it could have gone that far.

For those not interested in clicking, the summary:

All a carburetor can do is meter and atomize fuel in correct proportion to air.

Any further increases have to come from increasing the thermal efficiency of the engine itself (such as raising compression) or reducing rolling friction. And this last is why a diesel locomotive with steel wheels will go ten times as far on a gallon of fuel as a diesel truck of the same weight with rubber tires.

For Pogueóor any similar carburetoróto go 100 mpg on a gallon of fuel on a vehicle normally going 20 mpg, the air/fuel ratio would have to be in the neighborhood of 75 to 1 or better.

Any second-year college chemistry student knows that.
