I think I saw this on an infomercial at about 3:00 am one morning flipping channels. The well endowed spokesperson made me want to go out and get one to add to my water-to-fuel conversion kit.

Thats nothin, you wouldn't believe how some so called smart people believe in gimicks like that. Like a little pill shaped device that sticks to your gas tank, and supposed to have a micro circuit in it.

Mythbusters also tested that carb that was supposed to get you 100MPG, and it got worse than the carb right out of the factory.

Actually, there are two tools for achieving good gas mileage.

A manual transmission, so you can shift lower for unloaded driving, or higher for towing/hauling.

An egg, under the gas pedal.

Vehicles rarely get good gas mileage at 4500 rpm

What's it do to them? I've heard it can just plug things up so it won't run, and I've also heard it can take out an engine.

I've got a parts truck with a bad motor supposedly because of sugar in the gas tank. The motor was fairly new but had very low oil pressure and two dead cylinders. I have no idea how much sugar, how long it was ran, or even if that's really what happened to it.
