FTC Sues Water for Gas Scammers

The FTC release info can be read here.

Deceptive advertising used to promote the so-called "water for gas" schemes--you've seen them, the ones where you can supposedly ad a couple of wires and a mason jar of baking soda to your car to get 50% better mpg...

Ya, that stuff. Well, apparently the FTC had decided to put a stop to the deceptive advertising these people use to push their products.

Too bad it's so bad that the FTC actually bothered to notice and do something about it. I would have thought that regular people would be smart enough to disbelieve this crap on their own, but apparently the nanny state needs something to do.

At least they're focusing on something worthwhile this time.
