So what was the deal with the guys trying to make their vehicles go faster by sucking gas or whatever into their mouths and spitting it back into the engine? Why did they need to spit it? Why not just splash it in right from the bottle or tube?

Who doesn't like the taste of Post Nuke High Octane gas in the mouth

Fuel/Air mixture plus better force when blowing with your lungs.
They also made a comment that they didn't want to put too much in and overheat the engine, I think.
Ah, so part of the reason they spit was so that they blast it in faster than pouring it. Right on guys, good to know. 
Cardboard box stunt guy from Road Warrior was the stunt coordinator on this one too. He was the one driving the Doof Warrior's truck into the crashed War Rig and decided to retire from performing stunts himself after that one last epic crash.
Looks like he'll still be coordinating though, and good news for Suicide Squad fans, he'll be overseeing all the stuntwork for that movie as well.

I will admit that FR leaves me with the urge to revisit the movie.
But must resist and wait for extended cut bluray.

Slit was also just straight up drinking some of that gas he was spitting(on purpose). Didn't notice til my second viewing but that's probably why he was hanging off the side of the car the way he was, holding onto the supercharger.
Also, the War Rig had two engines and Max did blow the first one by over revving it in that scene. Rictus rips out the second.

Assume that the events in MM played out exactly as we saw them, then society crumbled even more over the decades, and Max in FR is actually a very youthful looking 60 year old man.
FR is full of mutant freaks. Maybe the radiation had a preservative effect on Max!
But seriously, it's possible the urban areas we saw in MM had already been virtual ghost towns for years or decades. There didn't appear to be many inhabitants, after all.
And it makes sense that the men of Main Force Patrol were the last threads holding civilization together. Once Max went rogue, ordered society fell apart.

Yeah, but the main reason (as stated above) is that internal combustion engines and associated turbochargers run on a fuel/air mix.

^ It was my second most anticipated after Force Awakens, but JJ has his work cut out.
It's a freaking 98%. Can you imagine a...
...Best Picture nod?
Never happen.
I can't imagine that it would. But still, hopefully something for Production Design, Make-Up, Editing, Score, etc. You don't win everyone over in this day and age just by blowing up some trucks.
Gonna have to get a lot more people in the seats. I'm just hoping for a very minimal drop-off. Like 15% or less. That would help. Could be the first movie in a long time that actually lives by word-of-mouth.
Well if Tomorrowland turns out to be the next Lone Ranger then maybe jye's initial prediction of Max winning Memorial Day could come to pass. It only took four days to overtake Picture Perfect 2.
Tomorrowland... blah! Poltergeist comes out too. Never know with those crazy ghost movies -- sometimes they do well. If TL and Poltergeist beat Max, well..... sad monkey.
I'm sure Tomorrowland is a big pretty turd but it will bring families out in droves.
