It still sounds like a nonsense theory.  The oil companies would love it if
some genius could make an engine that could survive running on a leaner
mixture so we could double our mileage and pay $7.00/gal for our gas.  Most
any of us can modify a carburetor so the mixture is only half as rich... but
if we could get the engine to run it would quickly self destruct.  :-(

The way to cut our fuel cost in half is drive half as much.  :-)
