    As the price of gasoline goes up, automobile snake oil salesmen prey upon the gullibility of guzzlers and hope that they answer a resounding "YES" to the question "Do you believe in magic?" :lol:

    Those are actually illegal to sell in some states due to how much of a scam it is. The "ornado" also doesn't work. It restricts intake air flow and actually makes MPG worse. I'll just keep paying for gas.

    You just have to imagine that if the buying public is willing to swallow (pun intended) something like this, that EVs would be a shoe-in.

    Pssst. Look what I've got here! I car that uses NO gasoline.

    :lol: maybe that's the scam. They sell drugs in the guise of something that you put in your tank. The cops would never think to check it out. "Hey Bob, he's clean. Just some nut who thinks those stupid gas pills increase mileage"

    We recently had a thread on another web site, GreenHybrid.com, about "magnetic" fuel enhancer technology so I added this posting showing how it works:

    No, I'm not 'pimping' GreenHybrid.com, just sharing a little fun.
