What happened to all those inventions (mostly different types of carburetors) that had cars getting 150 - 200 mpg?

They ran into the laws of thermodynamics.

Whatever happened to the electric car that was suppose to be be massed produced at the end of 2000...

Electric cars are easy. Batteries aren't. The best batteries store not much more than 1% of the energy as the same weight of gasoline. So to replace a 20 gallon fuel tank requires a battery of 5 tons or more.

They simply aren't practical.

You should be aware that any fuel, gasoline, diesel, alcohol, bio-diesel, or even plain vegetable oil, only has a certain amount of BTU content. No matter what you do to it, you can only get the BTU it has in it. There ain't enough BTU content in any fuel mentioned to make any real car, one that can be used as an actual transportation conveyence in a practical manner, get more than about 60MPG. And even then it will be a diesel. And a diesel doesn't have a carburetor.

A carburetor simply cannot change the BTU content of fuel. Even the best carburetor can only hope to atomize fuel perfectly. And atomizing fuel perfectly won't create any more BTU than what is in the fuel to begin with.

Fuel injection can distribute and atomize a fuel better than any carburetor could ever hope to.
