Hey, He's getting close to the same mpg as My '06 'rolla, ain't gonna knock anybody for a "let's try it & see" project.

If an old engine like that can get that many mpg's out of a lawn mower carb, then what's the problem with the Big 3 making more fuel efficient cars, without going electric?

They can if you don't care about power, he has hard time with hills etc.. Say he has to drive it like a tractor. Takes a certain amount of fuel in a narrow range to make a certain hp, low hp = low fuel consumption. That carb killed probable well over a 100 hp.
