Back in the Seventies ,watching a programm on Granada tv where Bob Greeves ,the presenter and a chap from Wales experimented by running a Ford Zephyr Executive (which was a plush modern car at the time) on a mixture of water and a secret ingredient the welsh blokes father had apparantly gleaned from a friendly German prisoner of war he had been guarding.Probably swapped it over a woodbine and a bit o Chocolate.
Anyway they ran the Zephyr from a drained tank on a gallon of ordinary petrol and recorded the mileage it covered and then did the same with the gallon of water/ingredient and lo and behold they did the same mileage.
Anyway it turned out the bloke had been approached by the fuel companies and paid to keep his trap shut.
I was young when I watched this programme and was probably gullible but just wondered if any one else had seen this and could add any more info. Im just curious by the way,not wondering about running the owd lass on Water
Im in the process of trying snow and cow manure which there is an ample supply of up here
