Default Concerned About Gas Price??

So my Dads buddy got a new GMC Truck awhile back. He had it for about 2 weeks when he noticed something strange. He was getting 50+ miles to the gallon...He called up GMC and told them this was the best truck he ever had and how happy he was and how he had great gas mileage. Well the next morning he heard noise outside and looked out the window and saw some dudes in black suites under the hood of his car. He ran out and they were already driving off. He noticed that there was a slot where some type of chip or something went. Now he only gets around 20mpg.

This makes me mad to think the government is holding back on this kind of technology.

I can't tell whether or not this is a serious post.

Weee,

That is pretty damn close to this man. I think it has happened more then a few times. As far as it being legit? I have no idea, but I talked to him and he swears by it, so who knows.

BS. How did they get under the hood of such car without opening the interior? GMC trucks come from factory with an alarm too.....


Anyway - if you're interested in improving your mileage - no matter what you drive, research Hypermiling.

The guys in the black suits had a key machine in the back of their car, enter VIN number and keys made, unlock door, disable alarm.

Probably not a radical muslim, but truly a radical left-wing liberal. That may be even scarier.
