Re: [St] Double your gas mileage



I chuckle every time one of these threads shows up.
To paraphrase one of SCIENCE fiction's all time greatest writers, Robert
A. Heinlein: The first law of the universe is Tanstaafl. (There Ain't No
Such Thing As A Free Lunch) Whether you are discussing orbital
mechanics, or Thermogoddamnics, ain't nuthin for free. And please
remember this: anything free is worth exactly what you paid for it.

That should have been I don't have to visit the link to know that 
adding a bit of acetone will NOT double your gas mileage.

(my excuse is that I'm still suffering the grogginess from fighting a 
structure fire from 7:45pm last night to 3:00 this morning. Then had a 
heart attack medical call. Got to bed at 5:00 this morning as my wife 
was getting up to go to work. Did get to watch the eclipse though.)
