My top 10 list (tonight):
  1. HHO gas improves mileage
  2. magnets on the fuel line align the molecules to improve mileage
  3. metal vanes inside the air cleaner improves mixing and mileage
  4. a resistor connected to the air temperature sensor improves mileage
  5. acetone in the gas improves mileage
  6. Hummer has lower lifetime cost per mile than a Prius
  7. Prius is a marketing success and loses money
  8. Hybrids are deadly to pedestrians
  9. <any_one_trick_pony> is better than a Prius
  10. The word "Green" is enough to make <piece_of_crap> successful
Sorry if I seem a little bitter but since 2005 . . .

Understand I enjoy Ecomodder projects as folks here make a serious effort to measure their mods. Many of these projects have credible physics and engineering behind them and the testing is true because sometimes they don't work out. What I can't stand is the hubris of those who should know better and thieves with a keyboard.
