Had a buddy in Alaska with an old Dodge Omni with a 1700 cc VAG
engine. He was a kind of mechanical nut/genius and built himself a
carburetor for it using a Pasche' airbrush and some other stuff. Swore
it got 72 mpg. It got totaled in a wreck and he sold it off. Never
pursued the carburetor thing again.
