Ok, so I'm not sure if this is a fad that has given up the ghost yet, but recently I finally got around to

and the skeptic says.....
Don't. For the love of your car and all things logical please don't!
The idea has been thoroughly debunked by both Cartalk and Mythbusters as pointless and dangerous.
