I didn't do this one, it was my father-in-law, Jack(RIP). He had a neighbor that bought some new car and was bragging about what great gas mileage it was supposed to get. Jack knew this guy kept track of his gas mileage religiously.

So Jack had a great idea. He went over to his neighbor's driveway every night for 2 weeks and added 5 gallons of gas to his neighbor's gas tank. His neighbor could not talk enough about the amazing mileage he was getting, better than what the dealer told him!

After 2 weeks of this, my FIL took his siphon pump and started taking 5 gallons OUT of the guys tank every night. He freaked out! To the point where he was going to return his car to the dealership and tell them there was a serious problem with his engine. So Jack had to tell him what he had been doing.

I think it's one of the funniest ideas I have heard of.
