I have just received an advert. through the door for a "FUEL ECONOMISER & ENGINE PERFORMANCE ENHANCER", which will give me up to 25% more MPG, and more power. I don't think so. "Up to" clearly includes the figure 0 - possibly, the thought strikes me, this could be negative!

A magic pill you drop in the tank? A special magnet you clamp round the fuel line? A nitro injection installation tuned for economy (only £3,400.00 plus VAT)?
Come on FT, don't hold us in suspense. We may all need this thing.

FT. Why did you bother to tell us about this?
Why do we continue to respond to these?
I'll go back to watching the porcine aerial display team.

That's the jobbie... a "very powerful magnetic pulse is applied to (a) fuel supply". The ad. even mentions the "Warren Spring Report", which the ASA have hammered certain companies for mentioning. I was just surprised to have this (expletive deleted) drop through the door - the doublespeak on it says, and I quote: "all engines today are electronically controlled. S------- enhances the running of your engine electronically". Does anyone ever fall for this stuff? I suspect they must, as the adverts still appear - much as 419-ers still claim to be wives of dead African dictators, lawyers, bankers, etc. etc., and we still get their fraudulent e-mails.

Personally I just find the local witch who puts a spell on my car's fuel tank, enabling it to replenish itself without stopping at the pumps.
As a story it's just as credible:-)

All nonsense.

Of course it flippin' well is, do you think *I* believe it? My point was that someone must, as the adverts. still appear. What is the market for these, as I have personally never, ever come across anyone who has one.

" that someone must, as the adverts. still appear"
As with the spam in my email. There must be a load of disappointed blokes out there...
|
"As with the spam in my email. "
Some spammer I once read (or heard perhaps) said 1 in 34,000 emails led to a sale. He was sending 10M a day. Work it out.

OT, but I'd happily pay for emails, say 1p each? That would fix it.

I am only joking, honestly.
