anybody else hear banjos playing during the video ????

Hog · 08-01-2014

I heard a banjo, followed by a guitar. But I didnt hear any "squealing pigs".

efnfast · 08-02-2014

I heard all of that.
I also don't believe for a second that the oil companies don't buy up stuff like this all the time. It's only good business.

Yep! I have bought up some of those "miracle" gadgets myself during my career in the oil business just to insure my future. later on, I sold them to Exxon for a ton of money. One of the coolest (or maybe it was hottest) gadgets was the simplest. You just cut the fuel line, wrap a bunch of copper tubing around the exhaust manifold, and connect it all up with a couple of rubber hoses & clamps. I paid $75,000 to buy the rights from the ol' boy that invented it. Funny thing was, he disappeared right after I sold it to Exxon for 11 million. Found his pickup, burnt all to hell & just ashes inside. Maybe they didn't trust him??

Jerry, I'm not suggesting the oil companies buy up gas cans with rubber hoses in them. I am suggesting that we should, and can, get better than 20 or 30 mpg.

A26B · 08-02-2014

Nothing personal! I'm just kidding around and thought you were too.

efnfast · 08-02-2014

I figured that would stir a turd.

I like it. I'm going to relocate my battery (to make room for the gas can) and drill 3 huge holes in the plenum. And install a CB.
