Increasing fuel mileage by injecting ether.

Several years ago I've read a book on how to inject ether in
low amounts into the carburetor to increase gas mileages.
I'd been wanting to add ether or some octane booster into
the fuel tank and adjust the inputs into the O2 sensor to
trick it to thinking that it's running rich. In theory, I may save
gas. What others tricks would you might attempt on your
car?

Thanks

Water injection.

Ohgeeze, here we go again. Suddenly it's 1973 all over again, and all the
ignorant ideas and dumb scams claiming to increase MPG are popping back
up...STAY DEAD, DAMMIT! STAY DEAD!

Might I interest you in a Tornado or a bilge blo- excuse me, "electric
supercharger"? How about a fuel line magnet or toilet paper oil filter
that works wonders...? Slick50, anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Use them all together, and you'll have spent so much money that you'll
feel like you've added one and a half squirrels to your engine. Wow!

But wait, call now and I'll double your order! Use it on one vehicle and
double the perceived effect! All for the low, low price of the GDP of
Bhutan! Can you believe it?!?

I heard that you get really good gas mileage if you put
sixty pounds of air in your tires, never turn on your lights,
signals or wipers, and don't use your brakes.

I pay NBA players to push my car around during the off-season. Sure, it's
expensive, but my mileage is fantastic!

If the poster puts enough BTUs of ether in his engine he could improve
his GAS mileage. However, his cost per mile will go up because of the
cost of ether.

You still on air? I'm on helium for the tires. Makes the car lighter! ;-)

Actually, true!
I noticed sig'ly better mpg's when my alternator went!
Drove for about 2 weeks charging my battery at home/work. Considered
leaving the alt. dead!
When I bought my Mazda 929, the effing dealer indeed had the
tires at 60#--musta had my gas mileage in mind! Actually, I think it was to
keep flat spots from forming on the tires in the show-room floor. Something
to watch out for...
Don't use yer brakes, and coast in neutral whenever you can.

heh, that will burn up your plugs...

you can purchase a honda civic to get better gas mileage.
or a hybrid (electric car powered by a generator).

strip down your vehicle. lighter weight increases gas mileage.
removing a full size spare tire increases gas mileage by 1.

put an extended cone at the rear end to reduce drag.
put swiss cheese holes behind the front fender to reduce more drag.
use the a/c instead of opening the window.
etc..
etc...
etc....
