200mpg carburetors are just stories with noting behind them.
For starters if it is patented the public has full access to it and it expires after 10-20 years.
The gasoline engine has a firm theoretical limit of thermal efficiency which is a smidgen over 30% and we are practically there with current technology.
Also I wouldn't hold my breath for motorcycle tech since motorbikes are surprisingly bad at economy ie motorbike with 50hp+ at the rear wheel uses more fuel than my 150hp 2.2L Mercedes diesel and only a fraction of the torque.
