Forty percent of a barrel of crude oil becomes gasoline upon distillation. David Rockefeller in his autobiography “bragged” how his grandfather, John D. Rockefeller, ingeniously turned this “waste product” that nobody knew how to dispose of, into a “profit center.” There have been reports of high mileage carburetors (such as the Pogue carburetor used in Sherman tanks during WWII) that got as much as 200 miles per gallon. When the war was over, these were all rounded up and destroyed. Is the reason why because of the need to burn off HUGE quantities of unwanted gasoline, and high mileage vehicles would work against that agenda?
