Whenever anybody tells you they know some mysterious secret or trick that will make your car get better mileage, or a diet that will melt pounds off like magic, or whatever, it’s a come-on, if not an outright scam. Period. As Captain Braddock used to say at the end of each episode of Racket Squad, “Remember, there are people who can slap you on the back with one hand, and pick your pocket with the other… and it could happen to you!”
