How to save gas, or there are a lot of idiots out there
Another Darwin candidate. What is bad is that there are 29 bids on it so far with 1 day to run, and the price is up to $29 for a .25c piece of 2X6.
He is rubbing his two brain cells together to make this work... JoeA DETGEP Industries Gas Saving Device ! L@@K ! NO RESERVE DETGEP Industires (Dominant Exclusive Technology Gearing Enterprise Products) brings you the super efficient DETGEP Gas Saving Device ! Proven to work 200% to INFINITE% better than the magnetic gas savers and the air intake gas saving systems like the Turbulator, Turbinator, Magnotator, Gassavorator and other devices that create a tropical storm in your intake system. Magnets have NO effect on gasoline. Turbilatrons only make your wallet lighter ! Our system REALLY works and is adjustable ! The device might need some slight easy modifications to fit your car but anyone can do it in less than 10minutes ! ADJUSTABLE! Our device can be adjusted to save from 0% to 90% of the fuel YOUR CAR USES ! *item might differ from picture slightly **Sold as is, no warranties -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Aug-17-05 at 06:20:54 PDT, seller added the following information: Item might be dangerous and cause death, do not use in a real car. Writing this cause there are some retards in the world.

A true Darwin candidate would make the device from a 2X10 to block both pedals and reduce the drag created by those inefficient brakes.

I think people know it's a joke, looking at the questions.
Q: Will this save my clutch at all???? I tend to wear my clutch pretty fast being as i drive like i buy. A: I tend to wear pants. Most of the people in on the bidding seem to have encouraged an unfortunate sheep to keep going. |

Heh heh, that's pretty funny.
Here's an idea from years ago that one of my mom's girlfriends had suggested....No kidding. She had noticed that the gas gauge would show a higher level when the car was going downhill. Her idea was to jack the car up in the rear so the gas level would always read higher........???WTF??? I was probably a teen when she suggested this...I still remember the look on my mother's face when this came out of her mouth.
