Everyone remembers the Fuel Shark, right? A ridiculous blue glowing buttplug that you’re supposed to stick in your car’s 12V socket to get better gas mileage but in reality does nothing? We exposed these jackasses a while ago, more than once. Somehow, though, I missed this YouTube video advertising them, and, once you watch it (well, the first part), you’ll see why I regret not having seen it sooner.

These guys are still in business, after all. Presumably, some people still buy this shit?

This can’t work, right? How do these fuckers still exist?
