I have read about a company called Water4gas that sells books for $97 that give you instrustions on how to install a hydrogen generating device that will increase you gas mileage. Has anyone tried this? Is this just another scam? ---

Spend the $97 and build it and let us know how it works. Personally I won’t waste my time on stupid ideas like this. But go ahead and knock yourself out. ---

I got one and it works. I have combined it with my turbonator, moth balls, and super wax and now am capable of getting 250mpg! Only fools think that car companies really don’t know how to get the gas mileage that will soon be required. All they need are these hand after market devices. guillable ---

FOR F\*\*\*S SAKE! I think I’m soon going to wear out the asterisk key on my keyboard! See my posts here: [http://community.cartalk.com/posts/list/763809.page](http://community.cartalk.com/posts/list/763809.page) And here: [http://community.cartalk.com/posts/list/757409.page](http://community.cartalk.com/posts/list/757409.page) And here: [http://community.cartalk.com/posts/list/746015.page](http://community.cartalk.com/posts/list/746015.page) And here: [http://community.cartalk.com/posts/list/740611.page](http://community.cartalk.com/posts/list/740611.page) And here: [http://community.cartalk.com/posts/list/742027.page](http://community.cartalk.com/posts/list/742027.page) So, that’s 5 other threads about scams (the top four are the same one) in a week and a half. And the consensus is that it’s a pile of motherf\*\*\*ing bulls\*\*\*. Now stop f\*\*\*ing asking about them! If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. And then, before you post another thread about scam, do a f\*\*\*ing search!
