These substitutes exist, and at this time are available. Its the future
availability that is in doubt.
1) GHG-12
Get it from People's Welding Supply 800-382-9006
2) butane/propane
You can mix this yourself so no one can ever regulate it away.
Just make sure you use good quality (dry) gases.
I don't know of any 200mpg carb distributors :-)
