I'm not an automotive engineer either but I know enough to say its mostly a hoax. There are ways to use gasoline more efficantly in cars but I imagine advanced EFI solutions are probably more effcient than just about any carb design could be.
The idea that you would just drop in a new carb and all the sudden have ordinary cars get 200mpg is not only "mostly a hoax", but is all the way a hoax". The idea that cars could get 100 or even 200mpg is in a sense true but there would be a lot of trade offs. The cars would be small, slow, and most likely less safe. , and you would have to have a driving patern of going only something like 40 to 55mph max with changes in speed or direction being rare and gradual.
