Shall we all go in together or is someone willing to pony up the money for the rest of us?!?!?!?!

**Stocker** · 11-29-2004, 01:26 AM

I'm going to buy that ALL BY MYSELF so I get ALL the royalties!!! Everyone in the world will be at my command, grovelling at my feet...

Hey wait a minute.... if that thing really works, why is that idiot willing to let it go for just a mere million bucks or so? You don't suppose there's a catch?

69ChevyLB · 11-29-2004, 01:26 AM

As the urban legond goes... there was a carb invented in the 1920's that ran on water or something like that, but the oil company's bought the patent and prototype and has it sitting in a vault somewhere.

I remember reading the For Sale adds for this type of thing in the late 50's and into the 60's Mechanics Illustrated If I remember right, and some Car Mags... $125.00 to $250.00 for the Plans. Then I remember a write up about it, The Oil Companies bought the rights,, Never hear no more about it...

I'm in Agreement with the Question of why he's selling it at Any Price if it really works....????

I have been running my trucks on dinotetrohydruscarbonious,or what I call"gas pills".Drop 1 in the tank and add the right amount of water and away You go.Costs about .01 a pill.I got the recipe from Grandpa.Had to sign a paper that I would never give out the formula.I have said enough!

spencra · 11-29-2004, 04:01 PM

Be careful smokekiki, "Big Brother" is watching. You don't want to end up on a carton of milk.

Hahaha! This is every bit as good as the carb on ebay, and worth at least as much! Bet you could get $2 million, easy!

Longhorn Man · 11-29-2004, 06:41 AM

Never heard the water one, but, and again, urban legond as far as I know, there was a 100MPG carb made way back when, and the oil companys bought it and destroied it.

GMC AMI · 11-29-2004, 07:54 AM

After DR. Rudolf Diesel developed the diesel engine which ran on peanut oil he strangley disappeared? Then the petroleum industry capitalized on the diesel engine buy fueling it with a cheaper dirty fuel from the gasoline distillation process byproduct
( Diesel ) fuel is born. Vegetable oil was soon swept under the rug and the pollution and depletion of fossil fuels begins its rampage of this earth. It all boils down to the love of money, (GREED)
If this gas saver was for real, the OIL giants would have squashed it for sure!

A.P. · 11-29-2004, 09:49 AM

That has more rust than my truck. For a million dollars, I expect some chrome.

71Rat · 11-29-2004, 10:18 AM

back in the 60's a man drove cross country in a full size chevy. He went cross country on only 10 gallons of gas. Strangly enough when he finished the race he disappeared and so did his car. Oil companies will do anything so they dont lose money, this country is to dependent on oil.

I just can't see having to cut a hole in my hood to fit that "thing" in there....unless it was billet or chrome......

spencra · 11-29-2004, 12:00 PM

Lesson learned here.
In other words don't put a bid in for this thing and front the money because the seller will most certainly disappear. :p

sneakysnake · 11-29-2004, 12:58 PM
