Dummy! You're supposed to add them to the oil. This lengthens the rods thus producing a longer stroke and therefore increasing horse power.

Not a whole lot; as it turns out, this is a widespread urban legend. The story goes that this sweet revenge will dissolve in the gasoline (petrol), travel through the fuel lines into the engine, where the heat of combustion will cause it to convert to a cement-like glue and gum up all the works, especially after you shut off the engine and allow it to cool. The problem is that sugar doesn't dissolve in the gasoline, so 99.9% of it just sit at the bottom of the gas tank. A little might make its way up the fuel line, but would be screened out by the fuel filter. Eventual clogging of the fuel filter would prevent the car from running, but that's a cheap and easy fix. If someone poured a lot of sugar in your gas tank, you'd have to disconnect the gas tank and dump it out to remove all the sugar crystals that are clogging your fuel filter, which should take a competent mechanic all of fifteen minutes to accomplish (and about $200). There are much more effective ways to exact your revenge on your enemies than this.

Mechanics are often looking for a quick fix - I would forget the Viagra and concentrate on a few important steps:
Start up gently, don't over-rev or you will misfire.
Don't whizz through the gears too fast, you'll use too much fuel and some engines just can't take it.
Take your time, if there's a smoking smell, you are going too fast.
Make sure you have sufficient lubricant in the system before you attempt to ease into fourth or fifth.
At the end of a long ride, be very careful not to fall asleep at the wheel, this may jeopardise your chances of ever driving again.
Happy motoring.

No, not a good idea - the only thing you should do with Viagra is swallow it yourself, but do it quickly otherwise you'll get a stiff neck.

You should not have believed Viagra would help your automobile, it is for humans, not your vehicle.

Sure you didn't put this in the wrong category? This should be in "Jokes & Riddles".
