The magnets thing has been around for years, and every time they are independently tested the whole theory falls flat on its face, if they did what sellers of such devices claim, manufacturers would fit them as standard.

i dont get it either, but my friend put one on and he noticed a difference. i bought one for a few quid and it was a crap magnet so found one in my man draw not sure what it was for but its strong so i put that on. i just filled up to see what litres ive done and ots exactely 27.5 which is spot on half a tank. which works out about 43mpg average i think. Anyway im not selling these so these arent made up for sales just showing people what the zs can do. bear in mind this wasnt all motor way driving.

I wonder if an old hard drive magnet is strong enough. I've got a few of them. Maybe I should sell them as "Super fuel savers" Can hurt to try it for free, can you post a pic of where it is installed please? I'll send you beer money if it works!
