Fact or Fiction

I heard a story from a mechanic at a ford garage yesterday.
He claims that employees of oil companies have at their disposal outrageously high efficiency vehicles that are not available and never will be available to the public. He claims that an employee of a large petrolium company (shell i believe he said) had a modified carbureator/fuel injector system which gets him 95miles to a gallon in a ford F250.


So what do you think... petrol companies holding out on us to rape us for cash? or fallacy...does not exist.

I work for a drug company and we have drugs that cures cancer, heart disease, reverse the aging process and prevent strokes. We are sitting on them because we don't want to make money curing illness. we want to make money treating chronic illnesses.
 
Fallacy

Try this article for starters here
That thoroughly debunks the myth that there are *simple* inventions or additives that can be added to a modern internal combustion engine to increase efficiency to that level.

Well, you'll get the gist of it if you skim that article.
 
I work for a software company that has a crash-proof version of windows that is imperviable to bugs, worms, or viruses.

Of course it wont be released because then people would never need to buy the newer version.
 
It is, however, completely possible to build a four cylinder carbed engine and put it in a light body and get 50+mpg. Whether that vehicle meets current safety and emissions standards is another matter, though.
