urban myth or true?
Seeing how gas prices are way up and our truck are not known for thier gas milage, I thought I would bring this up. Yesterday when I was fueling up super unleaded @2.19 a gal, a guy walks up and tells me that if I would put a handfull of moth balls in my tank when I fuel, I could run lower octane and save 20 cents/gal. He said that when they melt in your tank they raise the octane level. That is what he does in his truck and race car. Man, I haven't heard this since I was a kid. Is it a myth or is it true? Needless to say, I have not done it, and when he drove off, by the sound of it, he will be walking soon.
