a magnetic fuel activator that gives better fuel consumption and all the other nonsense that is promised!  :o

the appliance of science to molecules in petrol.... whatever next!! :D

Is there any truth in this gadget?!?!!  :-/

Have a read here ...

http://reviews.ebay.com/Improving-fuel-economy-without-gimmicks_W0QQugidZ10000000002355330

then read some of his other articles, links at the bottom of that one...

Then don't waste your money ....   :)

If you don't want to read all the articles .. this is the most relevant bit ...

Avoid all "fuel saving devices" (I cover these in a separate guide) as not a single one has been found to work. Trust me, if there was a magic device that worked, the automotive giants would be ALL OVER them. On a similar note, using premium fuel in a vehicle that doesn't need it will NOT help fuel economy. The only "fuel saving device" that does any good is cruise control, as it can maintain constant throttle positions much better than any human ever could, and this improves fuel efficiency. Some vehicles without cruise control can be retrofitted with one.
