A motorist was asked if he had tried a new atomiser, which is said to halve petrol consumption. “Rather,” he replied. “It did all the makers claimed for it, and saved fifty per cent of my petrol. I also bought a new carburretor, which saved 30 per cent, got another brand of petrol which saved twenty per cent, and some special sparking plugs which saved another ten per cent. “Then I took the car out for a test run, and I’m dashed if the petrol tank didn’t overflow before I’d gone five miles.”
