Diesels still burn dirty, you don't see much smoke now because the Govt. did get stricter on smog control, but also the manufacturers have found ways to reduce the black smoke as it's going down the exhuast after it comes out the engine. They inject fluid into the cats that "capture" the black smoke, as well as various other things.

Has anyone heard such? that auto companies or one in particular has had the ability to make cars do up to 80mpg on gas but due to some conspiracy? of sorts with the oil companies that they will never release it? I have heard similar for a few years and always shrugged it off, but a personal story i heard made me wonder.
A guy i work with has a friend who bought a Toyota or Ford...i forget which. The guy was saying he only used like 2 gallons in "x" amount of miles, apparently some 50+ MPG but soon thereafter got a notice from the dealer saying he must return the vehicle due to a defect.
Upon inquiring, he was more or less told that the fuel injection system in his car was actually a prototype and somehow by accident made its way into the dealers lot. Now their trying to get it back, quite badly apparently.
Now i don't know how true the story really is. I just wondered if any of you guys have heard such, believe its true or not true?
Apparently there is a similar conspiracy with hybrid vehicles..something about Chevy and a hybrid they had in the early 90's that was only released as a rental vehicle? i forgot the details but seemed interesting.

This a very old scam. The Fish Carb was touted as one that got 80 mpg back in the thirties but the oil companies bought the design to keep gas sales high. Likewise, that truck.
Include it with the other 'devices' that claim better mpg. Like old Barnum said there's one born every minute. Or you can fool some of the people sometimes, enough to make a good living, but you can't fool everybody all the time.
