Default Turbomag X-T Fuel Magnet that increases MPG?? :crook:

i just stumbled upon this magnet today on ebay that i guess you put around your fuel line somewhere and it supposedly helps disperse fuel more efficiently 'causing more complete combustion and power production'..

anyone know if using this magnet to 'polarize' your fuel like this would actually work?? or is it just another placebo effect?

actually, now that i just posted that first pic, i am unsure about the whole thing.. i can't believe they actually named the picture 'fuck_you_*****s.jpg' and put it on their site

but on a serious note, could using a magnet really work?

If a magnet gave a car the capability of making more power/mpg etc, every car on the planet would have them. And I dont consider a MPG gain of 1 or 2 acceptable nor an HP gain of 1 or 2. You can get that much just by changing old plugs/wires with new ones and changing the air filter. Save your money and get hardware that actually does something, like a header or CAI. The only thing products like that do is suck money out of your wallet.
