"Fuel saving" gadgets always appear when there's any kind of fuel crisis. Most likely, the same people that bought into the Nigerian email scams will buy this too and make someone a few million......

I don't think it's the magnets ... I believe the car is afraid of the "woman" pumping the gas. Looks like she could cut a service entrance cable with a lineman's pliers.

That's nothing. Drop a magnet in your fuel tank and get 50+ mpg.

There is a sucker born every day and it is the job of the wiser man to screw the fool out of his money.
