Why would you gain upto 5% in MPG using this ?

   ::)Its obvious, the powerful magnets pull the car down to the earth's iron core thus creating down force and so better aerodynamics and grip ;D.
I bought 1 ,now i have the garden gate,1 small child,a bike and a manhole cover stuck to the car.Also my MPG has dropped 10%

     Very Good S/B ;D ;D ;D ;.

On my Mk1 Astra (many year ago...) I placed a small piece of magnet on top of the drain plug - drain plug was metalic so the magnet stuck to it well with no need for glue - and yes there were metal shreds on the magnet when taking the plug off for oil change.

Did not do this on the Omegas though...

Nope Pete, the magnet is using the car in front of you to pull you so you're stealing his speed ;D


Then just hope you dont have a little 1,0 or ,1,2cc car in front or you will have a couple of problems [smiley=evil.gif] [smiley=evil.gif] [smiley=evil.gif]


Well, I can see a problem if you try to jump a level-crossing while a train is approaching....
