Oh Dear oh dear oh dear!

Boone, I see you are new to the forum. Before you post again, have a good read of other people's posts and consider your writing style.

Your post was:

Offensive
Boring
A real turn off.

What is it? The drugs you're taking I mean.

I can't see any reason why you'd sign up today, make a provocative post like that and basically call everyone brainless unless;

a) You're taking some sort of drugs....at least Class B
b) You work for Shell/Texaco or BP
c) You've been here before but not as "boone". You're disgruntled and you want everyone to know
d) All fo the above.

Am I right? What do I win?

Boone,

You obviously haven't been driving for very long. Buy a 1980's car and you will see how much fuel economy has improved. It was not that long ago that 30mpg was considered economical on a basic family car. Now it would be considered a gas guzzler.

And to address the posted topic, the answer is no. Never. They are a complete con. File under "snake oil".

May I also refer to my own "send in the clowns" contribution of a few days ago in this regard.
