That would certainly do it

This ad has been popping up in a few places recently.



Well, it would certainly reduce a car engine's gas consumption. That much is true.

Their intention is that people will click on the thing, and their browser will follow the link to a scam for one of those fake devices that supposedly lets an engine run on less fuel.  But how many people will simply do what the picture shows?

This ad is malicious.

I can't understand the mindset that thought that that picture was in any way a useful way to advertise their scam. The only possibility that I can come up with is that they're assuming that people would understand that it doesn't make sense, and then would be curious enough to follow the link just to find out what was going on.

I have no hesitation in calling it a scam, without following the links to read the testimonials. If there was a simple-and-inexpensive way to double a vehicle's fuel efficiency, the car manufacturers would build it in. Fuel efficiency is a major selling point for vehicles.
