With this car, it's gasoline down the toilet. The pitch black exhaust smoke is a tell tale sign of a run rich condition almost flooding out.
The fuel gauge runs a marathon to empty the moment the engine is cranked up (you can actually see the needle on the gas gauge move).
Better have a fat wallet or win the lottery in order to drive this car because it can suck down a tank of gasoline in a hurry.
Eighteen wheeler semi trucks get better gas mileage.
Oil companies loooovvvvve Dan Backslide's car.
The angry guy driving this car is none other than Dan Backslide from the 1942 Merry Melodies cartoon, The Dover Boys...And the timing couldn't be worse as this is in a time of spiking gasoline prices and possibly shortages in the near future. Every time Dan Backslide drives somewhere, he has to keep one eye on the road and the other eye on the gas gauge.
By the way...Dan Backslide ain't seen nothing yet until engine damage is done as a result of way too much gasoline flooding in. Access unburnt gasoline will wash the oil off the cylinders and cause piston ring damage. A continuous flooding condition also makes compression more strenuous, thus could cause a piston to hydrolock and knock out a connecting rod bearing, or even bend a connecting rod.
Seriously speaking though, y'all...I hope none of us ever get stuck with a car like Dan Backslide is stuck with.
back in the 80s, my brother worked on a project building steel tanks that turned poop from farms into fuel. There have been some guys who adapted diesel cars to work on recycled grease from fast-food restaurants. I'm guessing if this fuel crisis continues, those inventions are going to come back.
I can't wait to live in a Mad Max world. ( ᐢ (oo) ᐢ )
It's like Mr. Fusion, but it works on biogas. back in the 80s, my brother worked on a project buil
He is definitely pissed big time. Gas being expensive and hard to get, and his car squanders it like it was pennies per tank full.
As for the gas gauge... the reason it is not seen in either pic is because it wouldn't be seen from outside the car. I might later add a third pic as viewed from the driver's seat to show the gas gauge

That article is pretty interesting. Though the toilet in the back of Dan Backslide's car is not a fuel making contraption. It represents how much fuel the car wastes.
