I was also gonna buy one of ebay but then did some research which said they were a myth/joke. Sorry I no longer have the web address of the site which examined their practicality... they did loads of tests on different makes compared to making same journeys in vechicles which didn't have em. Results = not worth having one at all.

No they do not. All a magnet can do is to realign the chemicals of the fuel. There are similar devices use for keeping the pipes in heating systems from furring up. These do work as they realign the calcium so that is does not stick to the pipe walls.

No...The premise that a magnet would change the density of a molocule of fuel, resulting in better gas milage, has never been proven.
Keeping your vehicle in good running order is the best way to maximize fuel efficiency (timely tune-ups, and oil changes).

The answer is definately no!!! Nicely aligned ions in a pipe do nothing when the fuel molecules get sprayed into a combustion chamber!

A neomydium magnet is just a high grade ceramic magnet. It has some affect on non-ferrous metals and is valued in computer manufacturing for hard drive motors. the article i read in Wikipedia is pretty cool, check it out. As far as I can tell, putting a magnet in your fuel tank or anywhere near fuel has an incredible money transfer effect from you to the seller. However, impact on enhancement of fuel energy is problematic at best. Magnetizing or demagnetizing fuel will not help its combustion nor does it make it any easier to get energy out of the fuel. Save your money. This sounds like another scam. Thirty years ago, during the first oil embargo, there were advertisements for pills that went into water, narrow guage fuel lines, special air filters and a host of other things that had little or no effect on gas mileage. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

All sorts of claims are made. Manufacturers spend millions on trying to make their cars more fuel efficient than rivals cars. If these worked, manufacturers would use them as standard.

Big con to sell bits of rubbish, same as magnets on water pipes for lime

Nope, have you never watched Mythbusters?

No.
When did you hear of magnetic fuel?

No, pure myth. Never been proven. If it worked, manufacturers would use it in the battle to stay ahead of their rivals!
