Dipetane - looks like a badly thought out scam - bananastand

My local car bits shop, General Traffic, in St Helens, is a superb down to earth place with rock bottom prices and staff who eff this and eff that all day. Brilliant! Now then. They have a new poster up, advertising "Dipetane". It promises to save you "up to" 10% on fuel costs, which is obviously meaningless as "up to" can also include "zero".

To be fair the manager of the shop said, he's had no-one in saying "that stuff is brilliant" and he himself remained a sceptic. I took a leaflet away and it seems very badly worded, in fact I have formed an opinion that would probably not get past the moderators here. The website is easy to find. If you see the site you might see what I mean, it looks like something you would need if you towed CARAVANS a lot.

Very interesting. They have a new website and a poster that doesn't actually make any sense, but makes vague sciencey-type statements to which you are meant to nod your head wisely.

Reminds me of a device that used some kind of magnetic field to improve fuel efficiency and there was a row about it in HJ's column. When HJ asked the firm to substantiate their claims they eventually went quiet.

Dipetane has been on the market a long time, I`m sure its forerunner of Millers fuel additives

"there is nothing in Dipetane that is not already in the fuel." So why not just buy more fuel?
