I suspect that they are snake oil, but there’s one on my baby Austin and seems to do no harm.
I’ve read all the history about them... enhancing fighter fuel in WW2 etc... but I can’t get the science. Just doesn’t seem to make sense.

I can just about see where you are coming from... but I have had a couple of beers

Mexico has announced a novel COVID vaccine based on Tequila.
I think we should take it with a pinch of salt.

An old sock full of cat litter, under the seat, absorbs amazing amounts of moisture. Then you can dry it out in the airing cupboard, or on a radiator, and reuse it.
