I have heard people saying that adding a mothball to your gastank, would increase octane and increase performance?

Anyone know about this?? Is it true

I added 107 octane to the gas tank. It seemed to work very well. And it should at 18 bucks a tank.

Never heard of it, but I get pissed if I accidentally inhale while walking past a moth ball filled closet at home...if I start getting whiffs of mothballs from car exhaust on the road I'm gonna be really pissed. I hate them foul little

cancer causing bastards.

Adding mothballs was an old trick back in the forty's. That was even before my time. I doubt it does anything.

I wouldn't put crap like that in my tank..there's bound to be waxes and stuff in those balls that may gum up your fuel system.

I would like to see a show of hands of those who actually smelled moth balls. Come on now. Put them up.

I have one question. How did you spread their legs. They are so teeny.
