LOL without looking I can tell you that they wont work. With the econemy and the recent gas scare, people are trying to do ANYTHING to increase their MPG.

EDIT: The first video seems a little ridiculous, and you have to add the cost of the beauty stuff he used.
The second just tells you tips you should ALREADY know.
The third and fourth also tell you the SAME.

Here's an absolute revalation for you Americans.....If you want better MPG then buy a car with a smaller engine :eek:

My 1300cc diesel car does 50mpg around town and 70mpg on the motorways, it's that good that since I bought it in October I have only filled it up 3 times.

My husbands car does about 40 MPG, although it could be more than that, and that is around country lanes and villages and small towns, no highways here and it's petrol ;)

I drive a 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX (turbo'ed car) - I have upgraded parts on it and am tuned on 93 octane (Premium) gas so I NEED to run premium or my car does not run right.

Seeing as my husband works for a Car Parts place. I use Reg and then every other tank I put a can of Seafoam through my car. I get pretty good gas mileage for being a SUV
