I was working near Bridgewater, N. S., Canada about four decades ago and I was told about a man from Cherry Hill going in and buying a new .... LTD. This was in the late 1970's. The man drove and drove his .... LTD but the gas guage wasn't moving so he took his new car in to complain and have the gas guage fixed. His car was taken from him and he was given a similar car in which the gas guage worked perfectly. A similar event happened in Moncton, N. B., Canada but the man was a back yard mechanic and he realized that he had an experimental car and carborateur so he refused to sell his car back to the company until he was given SIX MILLION DOLLARS... (if I remember correctly.) Was this all a lie? Or was this a brilliant marketing strategy put out there by some executives at that North American car company meant to get people like me talking and writing about this phenomena? Surely the President of the USA could over rule patent laws in favour of releasing technology that could be argued needed to become common place for many reasons relevant to the economic security of the USA.
Dennis, recall this about fuel. It does not matter if it is a fuel injector or a carburetor. The correct fuel air ratio is constant. Fuel injectors are better at correct ratios than carburetors. But the ratio does not change with how it is fueled. 14.7:1 The ideal air-fuel ratio that burns all fuel without excess air is 14.7:1. This is referred to as the “stoichiometric” mixture.

Dennis I do not know how much this helps you but I have driven my Cadillac in at least 25 states in America. I found it was the fuel that mattered most. I got my best all time mileage in Wyoming. It fell back when I got to California. CA it got 26 per gallon and in Wyoming it was around 30 mpg. Highway of course.
Electric cars don't have carborateurs so talk to the hand. You just plug them in and they run like forever. But make sure you don't get stuck in the middle of nowhere with no charging station. Bummer dude!
right now I don't care to own an EV, but you have to loo at what some manufacturers are gearing up for ... VW, Audi, Porsche, Nissan, Hyundai, Chevy etc ... fast charge stations are popping up all over where I live ... the tech is starting to catch up with the "impractical" ...
