You go and put a big, hairy, long duration, high lift cam in the engine, which the lobe that pushed the arm on the fuel pump, waaay to far and punctured the rubber diaphragm, when it was trying to feed all those carburetors, no doubt linked in series, with enough gas to get your 3 MPG ..... 1/4 mile at a time.......
