I prefer the ones that are somewhat right but exaggerated, like the guy pushing scanguages then telling you to use acetone to raise fuel economy by 30%, oh wait the 30% improvement is only on the scanguage since its tricked by acetone.

Or the cat before your carb designs where you can only operate your motor at one RPM but you get fantastic FE

The water one is interesting, apparently you can run a diesel car on 20-50% water if you emulsify it, not a hoax, too bad there isn't the home emulsification kit, I would buy one in a heartbeat. Those million gallon a day jobs are too large.
