A guy bought one of the first hybrid automobiles and his bragging at work about his gas mileage was getting tiresome, so his co-workers started sneaking out into the parking lot at lunch time and pouring gasoline into his tank. So our guy was reporting 55 mpg, 65 mpg, 80 mpg, 120 mpg! Being unable to recognize that he was being had, he claimed with a straight face that his magical car was actually manufacturing gasoline in its tank while he slept! "I know it's unbelievable," he said, "but there's more gas in the tank now than I put in there last week!"
