It’s a myth perpetuated by people who don’t know better. By all means, putting sugar in a gas tank is not advised because, well, sugar doesn’t belong in there. But it will not ruin the engine. If it even reaches the engine, you have a pretty bad fuel filter.
Man, I hate that program. Destroying tons of cool classic cars and making used cars in general needlessly expensive. Absolutely wasteful and counterproductive. I mean, sure, !fuckcars, but not like that!
If they wanted to stimulate the economy that bad they should’ve increased spending on bike/ped/transit infrastructure or something like that instead.
Honestly I am still convinced that it was a handout, though not directly, to the auto industry because Obama had campaigned on saving Detroit but the bailouts weren’t enough to keep GM and Chrysler afloat. (Ford, in a business move that I wish was more common but also because they were dying before the recession, leveraged the blue oval logo as collateral on a loan.)
the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS, commonly known as ‘Cash-For-Clunkers’), one of several stimulus programs whose purpose was to shift expenditures by households, businesses, and governments from future periods when the economy is likely to be stronger, to the present when the economy has an abundance of unemployed resources that can be put to work at low net economic cost.

It was totally a handout, pretty much explicitly:

Dish soap mixed with a small amount of water would probably fuck up an engine.
Dish soap and Vinegar also makes an excellent fruit fly trap. Apple Cider is even better than Vinegar
