What do you know about the additive Ethos. Claims to increase gas millage up to 20%, reduce emissions and improve performance. Use 2 oz. per tank and add 2oz. in crankcase with new oil. Costs $53.95 for two 16 oz. bottles, less per bottle if you purchase more. Can purchase only over the internet. I keep getting e-mails about the stuff and wonder if it is for real? Thank you. Tony

It is as real as the unsolicited e-mails that you get from unknown women who “want to meet you for a good time”, for Viagra, for “male enhancement”, for millions of dollars from unknown government officials in Nigeria, etc. I would suggest a good spam filter for your e-mail.

Do you honestly think that it could POSSIBLY work. I’ve never used it nor do I know anyone who’s ever bought it or used it…and I GUARANTEE you it DOESN’T work.

Two sayings you need to remember.

. If it’s too good to be true…it probably is.  
. A sucker born every minute.

Doesn’t it also cure bad breath and male pattern baldness?
