No shortcuts to saving money on gas

Experts say proper tire inflation best way to reduce fuel mileage

NEW YORK (CNN) — Liz and Rocky Rothwell, a retired couple from Orlando, Florida, thought they could save money on gas by dropping a little green pill called BioPerformance in their car’s tank.

“When it goes in your gasoline, it disperses out. It’s supposed to increase the mileage in your car from anywhere from 25 to 30 percent,” Rocky Rothwell said.

The Rothwells had such high hopes for this product that they went to a company presentation and signed on as distributors in a multilevel marketing plan.

But the pill turned out to be a dud, according to Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott.
