I've got one of those 100 MPG carbs right here that I'll sell to you.  I
also can get you a great deal on a bridge in Brooklyn and some
ocean-front property in Arizona!

I don't have the little smiley face on that, because I assume everyone
can recognize it as sarcasm.  If you're looking for a miracle engine fix
to end all our oil problems, FORGET IT!  There ain't no such thing. 
Exxon, or any other oil company would just love to sell you a device to
get 100 MPG.  Then they'd just jack up their gas prices to cover the
loss in volume.  It's much easier and more profitable for them that way,
and you'd end up paying less in dollars per mile, so everybody would be
happy.  I'm surprised people still believe these crazy stories.
