    For example, if an automobile typically gets 20 miles per US gallon (12 L/100 km) with a 20% efficient engine that has a 10:1 compression ratio, a carburetor claiming 100 mpg ‑US (2.4 L/100 km) would have to increase the efficiency by a factor of 5, to 100%. This is clearly beyond what is theoretically or practically possible.
