It has nothing to do with carburetors, the upper limit of the efficiency
 of the Otto cycle is fixed by the compression ratio, anyway.  It has to do
with competition in technology and access to the marketplace.  Both are 
blocked by the shared-monopoly in the automobile industry.  Bill Gates and
Ross Perot have their own monopolies, I would doubt if they have the time
to take on another.

Furthermore, if Gates got into car-building, maybe GM might decide to get
into software.  Neither one would like that.
