Pyramids and pills give you better gas?

Clark talked recently about how there is no magic potion or pill that will help you get better fuel economy, and he has an example to share. A reporter at the Chicago Tribune tracked down one company that claims you’ll get 35 percent better fuel economy and another that improves it by19 percent by “lubricating the fuel.” These are complete hoaxes and, in truth, are just pyramid schemes. You must buy into these companies and you make money when other people sign up and get other people to buy the pills. Sound like a ponzi scheme to you? The amazing part is that thousands of people have already bought in. Most people will lose their shirts in this scheme. Those who don’t are making ill gotten gains.

This week's poll
The high cost of jet fuel has a lot of people staying at home this summer instead of traveling. Is there a "staycation" in your immediate future?
Yes, I just can't afford a plane ticket and/or hotel room right now.
No, I've saved up all year just to get away for a bit.
Maybe, I have to wait and see how my finances pan out.
