That's my stand also, which is why I don't list 'em. We might have a viable dyno donkey to test this on soon, so I'll happily keep ya'all posted!
That will be great.

all a load of BS

I did mechanical engineering at UoA and spent a bit of time in the dyno test cell for Formula SAE. learnt alot about how ppl have tried to increase combustion by adding devices to the fuel system. These types of devices are all crap. I dont see how lining up the molecules will increase combustion of the fuel. Seeing that top fuel make these made me loose confidence in them as a tuner. It is similair in BS to the 'Fuel star'. My mate doing post grad at Uni tested that on the dyno for his forth year project and found it did absolutely nothing. I thought id just add that in so no one buys one! Think of it this way if these devices worked they would be standard on all cars. I think a car manufacturer would pay $2 extra per car to be able to say its 5% more efficient or what ever top fuel and fuel star claim.

mythbusters did an episode on a whole bunch of fuel saving devices, including magnetic ones. Probably on youtube somewhere

Verdict -> Mythbusted. None of them improved fuel economy
