    Stupid bits of clickbait designed to entice the stupid or infuriate the knowledgeable into clicking it. I googled about them and got to read an article on the ads. Selling something along the lines of an OBD2 device...

    What happens if you put ketchup in your gas tank?

    This piece of clickbate was discussed here, relatively recently. It's not worth the click if you're looking to save money, but worthy if you need a laugh.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    This one was worth the laugh

    Ethanol is made from sugar. Sugar is used as it has calories which is science talk for energy. This is why they add ethanol which is just a name for sugar to your fuel in the production process. The government is doing this to support big oil and the big pharma industry under a green banner. You should stop supporting big oil and big pharma and just put the sugar into your tank yourself thus supporting the farmer and making a more green fuel

    I think most of us drink ethanol in some flavoured form or other

    My son makes his own hooch....you should see and smell his mash....which once distilled becomes ethanol .....which once washed and flavoured becomes whatever your favourite brand is.

    Now , if it's that simple.....and it is.....to make ethanol at home from basically kitchen scraps , then who's kidding who when the industrial giants sell petrol at $2lt?

    Vehicles can very easily run on pure ethanol , cheaply. No need to use oil at all , except for lubrication. Simples?
