nor does it help with pollution, anymore at least.

when most cars were carbureted, it helped, but these days most are fuel injected and computers control the optimal fuel/air ratio to keep pollution down.

It's actually ripping us off, because we pay for a gallon of gas, we don't go as far, and have to burn more.
