    The Mythbusters recently tested all the 'gas mileage' gimmicks and found that NONE of them provided any benefit. I guess that saying about 'being too good to be true' should be added to my title :-D

    The other one is the Plotcher system where little sticks 'remembers' good water and then 'tells' the bad water how to behave...
    I know all about that system....it's the one my wife uses on me daily!
