Default WTF????

I was browsing eBay and came across this.

Afew things come to mind: Does it work (prob not, but if so--how?) I'm thinkin its similar to the Tornado thread I've read here...the results are in your head. As well, if it DOES work, wouldn't it be easier to just go to the hardware store and pick up a "rare earth" magnet and strap it on the fuel line?

It's just a scam. dumb people waste their money on them.

They covered them on Mythbusters and didn't even get .1 gallons more

I dont have a link for it, but they did a bunch of different ones, they did a device that said it did the same thing as that, they used both Fuel Injected and Carb'ed cars and went over i think 3 different devices with each and they all came out busted.
