[QUOTE="deleted member, post: 344264, member: 816"] No carburetor ever pushed a 4000 lb car 200 miles on 2 gallons. Period. I am no physics freak. But, I would venture a guess that even at 100% efficiency (which is not possible), there is not enough energy in 2 gallons of gas too push or pull 4000 pounds 200 miles.
