There has been an Urban Myth
in North America that the "Big
3" automakers (Ford, GM and
Chrysler) have been suppressing
technology that allows vehicles
to acheive 100+MPG. (Usually in
collaboration with the oil
companies.) One story is that a
prototype with such technology (for
testing) mistakenly gets shipped
to a dealership in a remote
rural location. The vehicle gets
purchased by an old farmer/retired
man. After several weeks or
months the owner brings the
vehicle back to the dealership
to repair a "broken" gas guage,
because it has not registered a
change in the amount of fuel in
the tank. Shortly after it has
been brought to the dealer to
diagnose the problem, the owner
either wakes up and sees a
couple of people doing something
to the engine or gets a recall
notice that his vehicle has
something unsafe and will be
replaced by the dealership. In
either case the vehicle starts
to consume a normal amount of
gas afterwards. Read more about
it
