As said, gasoline has NO MAGNETIC PROPERTIES...!
Even leaded gasoline has no magnetic properties...!
The jerk named "boiled egg" is either a clown or an idiot...probably both...lol
If you have fuel injectors, add an injector cleaner once a month...
Install Titanium plugs that need no gap setting and be sure your plug wires are not dried and stiff...
Keep your tire pressure even all around and at the prescribed pressure or a few pounds higher...
Keep the transmission filter clean and the fluid not darkened...
Change the engine oil and filter every 3000 miles or sooner if the oil becomes dark...
The rest is up to the automobile computer and there are no gimmicks that can improve over that so don't waste your money...

Absolutely not! Just another in a long line of gimmicks. How could magnets on your fuel line possibly save any gas? Gasoline has no magnetic properties.

No, No and NO----none of these gimmicks work---EPA tests dozens of them every year and only a few have come up with any improvement in mileage and even that was only 6 percent at best.
If they worked, car companies would be using them to save millions on engineering costs.
These ads usually have a reasonable sounding premise to most people that don't have an engineering background or just want better mileage. It's like weight loss products....every year, there's a miracle breakthrough.

I just saw an episode of mythbusters talking about that and none of things they tested help you save any fuel, some actually cause you to burn more

Yes - I filled my fuel tank with them and saved loads of money on fuel.

They're not going to increase your fuel economy if that is what you are talking about buying them for.
