- inactive, on 07/14/2008, -7/+264There are some real ways to add some MPG: just pour some sugar in your gas tank.
Alt + F4 to unlock cheats! - RLovell, on 07/14/2008, -4/+207I love how Cracked can turn something everyday like this in to a awesome and witty two page article :)
- RockNRollBeaver, on 07/14/2008, -15/+217Dugg for: Being an awesome article that was very entertaining to read.
- Mudger, on 07/14/2008, -3/+1701: Buy a syphon.
2: Syphon gas into a bucket. - inactive, on 07/14/2008, -5/+123God bless these people - doing the Lord's work, parting fools from their money. I'm honestly surprised we've made it this far as a species, given how utterly stupid some people are.
- maeon3, on 07/14/2008, -1/+100I'm glad I can see and hear the ***** dripping off these kinds of websites and ideas. I truly feel sorry for the people who cannot see and hear it through lack of intelligence.

Love the irony - chrissku, on 07/14/2008, -11/+99The people who crack me up are the ones who put $10 at a time into there car and think they are somehow saving money.
- humperdeath, on 07/14/2008, -1/+80I know you can buy a gas extender that you add to your gas tank. For every 1 gallon of gas, you add 1 gallon of the extender, and combined, you double your mileage, guaranteed. You can buy the gas extender at most gas stations, for about $4.50 a gallon.
- MysticSavage, on 07/14/2008, -1/+801. Cut a hole in a box.
2. Put your junk in that box. - chukd, on 07/14/2008, -2/+77My personal favorite is the auto shops offering Nitrogen filling of peoples tires. They charge like $50 to clean out that bad air in your tires and fill it with pure nitrogen. Yet, the sheep fall for this raping of their wallet.
- krische, on 07/14/2008, -0/+73I take it the average person doesn't know that everyday air is already like 70% Nitrogen?
- pintomp3, on 07/14/2008, -0/+62sadly, that used to be a fill up.
- AnarkeIncarnate, on 07/14/2008, -0/+61So hauling around more fuel is somehow going to be beneficial for mileage? Any fuel you are not using is now weight to be carried.

"Because ***** you, that's why!" And then they'd light a cigar with a billion dollar bill. - JQP123, on 07/14/2008, -1/+58Just plain cracked --- in a good way --- the article I mean. Cracked in a bad way --- the people who buy this stuff.
My personal favorite is #2: "One glance and they (any mechanic) will know they can charge you $50 to realign the air in your tires." - inactive, on 07/14/2008, -5/+59Hypermilers say these death-defying maneuvers can more than double total fuel economy (this guy claims to get 59 MPG out of a regular old Honda Accord). Though it seems like they could raise that exponentially with the addition of a simple rope and grappling hook.
hahahahahhaha - Umstizzle, on 07/14/2008, -1/+52Wait... It doesn't cost 50 dollars to realign the air in my tires?
- DeskFlyer, on 07/14/2008, -2/+53The reason why the Tornado is ***** is because the most efficient way to move air quickly through any internal combustion engine is in a straight line relative whatever channel it is moving through. By introducing something that will swirl the air as it enters the engine you are simply introducing turbulence, which is unwanted in power generation. Take a jet engine for example; yeah there's a huge fan in front that will pull air into the engine and inevitably twist it, but there is also stator vanes directly behind the fans blades that are there to straighten out the air flow before it enters the hot section (and it helps straighten the bypass air out too). When you mess up the air flow, you get a compressor stall like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8D5AqAxE330
- doctechnical, on 07/14/2008, -0/+47Don't do it folks! Sugar in granular form will clog your engine! Use liquid Kayro instead. Remember what ethanol is made of - sugar!
- megamod, on 07/14/2008, -1/+47they could fit it all in one if they reallly wanted to =/
- MacEnvy, on 07/14/2008, -0/+45For a limited time only, I'm willing to sell them an html additive (at the bandwidth cost of just one extra web page per article) that will literally *double* their ad revenue!
- jbmcb, on 07/14/2008, -1/+44Yes, it helps a lot when you are going 160MPH on a NASCAR track or Formula 1 circuit, or in a space shuttle.
It doesn't help out that much in your Camry. - holyskeleton, on 07/14/2008, -0/+43"As seen on TV!"
*sigh* it doesn't get anymore obvious than that... - doctechnical, on 07/14/2008, -0/+42Closer to 78%. That's what I remember from grade school at least...
[clickity click]
...and Wikipedia says 78.08 so near as damn it. - SulkyGirl, on 07/14/2008, -13/+54I am so confused as to why people seem to think they should be able drive as much as they want, in whatever vehicle they want, for next to nothing. As if cheap gas and SUV-ownership were their birthright.
Drive less, earn more, or do some combination of the two. And if one of these rolling-stop, truck-hugging hypermilers "rolls" into the side of my car at some point, I will be exercising my God-given right to punch him in the balls. - tkr2099, on 07/14/2008, -0/+40Wow, your mileage sucks, have you considered trying The Tornado?
- beersnob, on 07/14/2008, -0/+39U forgot 3. Pour gas into YOUR gas tank!
- Depravo, on 07/14/2008, -3/+42How about this one - "The store is only two streets away, try walking you fat *****"
No, I guess that one is just TOO retarded. - Slovenian6474, on 07/14/2008, -0/+38Well a smoother surface would have less friction. That being said, I highly doubt it's enough to make any difference unless the "gunk" happens to be a moose or something.
- humperdeath, on 07/14/2008, -0/+38Actually, there is no effect on the semi's mileage, as they are producing this wake of turbulence anyway. Of course, the truck drivers still dont like you to do this. It is VERY dangerous.
- JackSchittt, on 07/14/2008, -2/+39The other day, I was truly sad over the rise in gas prices. As I looked down in sorrow, I saw these two things sticking out of the bottom of my legs. I put one of them in front of the other and.........to my surprise......forward motion was achieved. So I did it again. And I went even further! So I did it again. And again. And again! And I kept moving forward! So I used this new technique to run all of my errands, and checked my gas mileage when I got back. I couldn't believe it! 0 MPG!
That's Right! 0 MPG! I've learned the secret! And now, for the low, low price of only $149.95, you can too! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn how to seriously cut down on your gas mileage! Hurry, this once-in-a-lifetime offer is only available for a limited time! Only $149.95!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a great deal!!!!! If it weren't such a great deal, I wouldn't be legally allowed to use so many exclamation points!
Act now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - PabloMac, on 07/14/2008, -0/+37Whew! That was close!
- jonshipman, on 07/14/2008, -1/+37p2p gas?
Too bad his buddies probably leached, what he needed was some good peers and seeders. - Sagags, on 07/14/2008, -0/+35they are, less gas = less weight = more millage = less gas = less money
its science - pintomp3, on 07/14/2008, -0/+35even if 99% of people know it's BS, 1% of the population is still a lot of sales. same reason for viagra spam.
- billbugger, on 07/14/2008, -2/+37and they REALLY don't like it. Plus you have to be very close to actually feel the effects and all it takes is a light tap on the truck's brakes for you to end up like this:
http://rofl.wheresthebeef.co.uk/Corvette%20vs%20Se ... - pintomp3, on 07/14/2008, -0/+33probably the most effective (and cheapest) ways to save gas is to make sure your tires are inflated properly. i've noticed a lot fewer under-inflated tires recently.
- Trax91, on 07/14/2008, -1/+33Great sales pitch!
- Pimpalicious316, on 07/14/2008, -0/+32My dad. He refuses to let it get below half a tank, because somehow putting in $40/week is better than $80 every 2 weeks.

- doctechnical, on 07/14/2008, -1/+32If you can actually recapture more energy from the hydrogen than you used up to generate it, then ***** pal, you've just thrown several centuries worth of science out the window. Soon the Nobel committee will be making up 6 new prizes, just to award to you. Steven Hawkings himself will be so impressed that he'll leap out of his wheelchair, walk over to you and offer a firm handshake while he congratulates you in dulcet tones. Indeed, the shade of Einstein himself will rise from the grave to haunt the halls of MIT for the next 99 years, banging his head against the walls and wailing "Why didn't *I* think of that?!?!"
In other words, you're a shilling *****. Go now, and darken not my Digg again. - McShr3dd3r, on 07/14/2008, -1/+31Ride a bike.
