[Vwdiesel] mythbusters tonight

[dieseltdi at verizon.net]

They were attacking bogus high mileage myths tonight - miracle carb,  
magnets to "ionize" the fuel,, acetone/gas mixture (anyone but me  
remember the mothballs in the fuel tank myth?), hydrogen injection,  
etc.  they busted all of them - nothing worked.  Last test was with a  
diesel Mercedes using cooking oil the showed an MPG of 30 mpg on a  
closed course as opposed to 32 mpg on straight diesel.  Unfortunately  
they concluded that "all you have to do is pour it in the tank and  
go" so they may cause a bunch of people to screw up their cars.  Hayden

"Dictatorships all have common factors:  a government controlled by  
one party, a leader who claims to have special powers outside the law  
to keep the country "safe", secret prisons where people are locked up  
without charges or trial and government opponents are branded as  
unpatriotic and charged with aiding the enemy."
