I really got a kick out of an infomercial on a new oil additive. They froze an engine in solid ice and, by god it started first time with this additive. Everyone was amazed.

Very old power booster, moth ***** don't think they last very long. Next someone
will be putting their nitro heart pills in the tank like was done in the movie "the worlds
fstest Indian". I do hope someone comes up with the answer to our need to extend mileage for the good of us all, however the ripoff guys should stay out of it.

You can also take those same pills before you go out drinking and you won't get a hangover the next day!

I am in a hurry and did not read all of the above posts so this may be a repeat. If so, I'll offer my oops now. If not, this may be of interest to some.

Magic Pills

I thought the suspension in my F250 seemed a little soft so I popped a couple Viagra in the tank and it stiffened right up.

P.S. For stiffer suspension lasting more than 4 hours consult your mechanic.

There was some guy raving about acetone on some web page. Supposedly, he got some significant increase in mpg. That wasn't an MLM scheme, and because of the small amount needed, its also dirt cheap. I could not replicate his results, however.

"The company Web site says "area managers," who buy in with 13 bottles for $499, can earn up to $730,000 a year. It also boasts that 1,000 new customers are signing up every two days. The company claims about 4,500 members in Texas."


If this is true, I feel bad for my home state...bad enough to move!

PT Barnum comes to mind.

I saw the pill in the news, as a matter of fact one of the Philly TV stations tried
them. Did nothing, they also told the price. Even if it did something you were deeper
in your pockets per mile than without. Ah what fools we humans be!
