    "Magnetic Fuel Savers"

    have you guys heard of them magnetic fuel savers????? its soposed to give you better mpg because it ionizes the fuel so it can burn better. sounds like a gimmick to me but i want to see if any of you guys actualy tried it

    it is a gimmick in terms of how it works but it does help mpg for about 100 miles until the computer adjusts

    doesn't work from the start or finish...myth busters tested...

    Also things that don't work...

    Gas pill
    (solid 'pill' dropped into gas tank that is supposed to enhance fuel milage) after adding this...one of our customers had to change his fuel filter...clogged...he did this two more times...each time being told not to put the 'pill' in...if it clogs the fuel filter...it'll clog your injectos...also busted


    The tornado...installs into intake tubing.
    Actually restricts air flow, does not increase fuel economy...mythbusters

    many other various devices like that...they're all gimicks...only fuel saver is letting of the throttle...or getting a prius :D

    that whole magnetic gas savers gimmic has been around since the days of the muscle cars. it didn't work in the 70's, and still isn't working in the new millenia. Unless the change the content of gasoline somehow...

    This is what I say to all of those "fuel savers" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



    If you want better MPG lay off the gas and take it easy on the brakes, but then we do drive corollas my 02 has 106K on it with a automatic tranny and I still get 30 mpg daily and if I drive the highway I can get up to 40+ MPG.

    My cars modded as simple.
    Injen intake
    2.25 Cat-back with a glass-pack muffler for resonator and a TRD muffler
    17X7 inch rims running a 205/40/17
    Lowered 1.75 front and 1.5 rear
    BLOWN struts and a bent lower contol arm on the passenger side only
