It's a psychological trick ladies and gents, no less! Fit one of those to your car thinking you'll be saving loads of fuel and automatically your right foot will adjust to your mind by driving more gently.

so in effect....yes it does work, by tricking the mind, but not in the scientific way the bloke is claiming.

I would suggest saving your dosh and buying a few extra litres of fuel with the cash saved....

....or, better moneysaver again, imaging that one of your plums is between the sole of your foot and the accelerator pedal.  How hard would you squeeze the power on then??

You'd have to have a very baggy scrotum to perform that trick!
On the subject of the thread,"want to swap that cow for these magic beans?"

I'm going to have to extend the wiring loom a little to try that one out.

Absolute codswallop !!!!

If they were any good... don't you think every manufacturer would have fitted them for years

The only thing they are good for is relieving mugs from their money ...

Sorry ...  :-? :-?

Totally agree. Practical Classics tested these devices years ago and found no evidence that they work. To be honest I think vendors should be prosecuted for selling things that they must know are "not fit for purpose".

The test was on the lead pellet capsule things that people put in their fuel tanks, or in the fuel lines. "Fuel Cat" is one such. My arse.

I have not seen the magnetiser devices tested but in all honesty, think about all the systems on your engine designed to improve efficiency and mpg. This is an important selling point in a very competitive market. Any device proven to work would be adopted by at least one major manufacturer quicker than you could say "magnetise the molecules".

As MarkDTM mention we have had a larger magnet installed on our gas fired boiler at work , apparently we are saving 6% on our gas costs
