"Fuel-Saving Devices Debunked"
Some of you may have already seen this story posted on Yahoo this morning: "Fuel-Saving Devices Debunked". Im surprised to see that there were any gains at all.
On a related note, I remember a few years back when Summit was selling some fuel-catalyst device by a company called Fitch. Always wondered about that one. I guess the fact that I no longer see it on Summit says something.

The last one listed/shown is a take off on the old cow magnet taped to a fuel line from about 25 years ago. It supposedly straightened out the molecules in the gas so they would flow better. I guess the "inventors" forgot that carburetors have fuel bowls so those straightened out molecules - didn't last too long.

I believe Summit still hawks the "Tornado".

Personally I use a flux capacitor and it saves me a lot.

Those intrested in honest research into fuel saving might Google Smoky Yunicks hot vapor engine. he thought enough of the idea to obtain several patents on his tinkering.

Soooo, wearing my tin foil cap while timing my Toyota with magnets in my boots for stability is all for naught? The tingle is nice.

Back in the 70's I had a 350 chevy PU that was getting around 18 mpg and a friend showed me how to install a piece of stainless water well screen between the carb and the intake and it increased my mpg to 21 - - - - Scout's Honor !
Of couse the speed limit was 55 at that time also.

Ever since I got that email from Nigeria I don't worry about saving money and saving gas. Soon all my money worries will be behind me.
