I like the fact that it is sold for a "Prius Truck." Where can I test drive one?

Is this product for that super-secret magnetic fuel that is being developed by the government but won't be sold because it would put the oil companies out of business? Can I use it in conjunction with my 100 MPG carburetor and my "run your car on water" tablets?

Everybody knows magnets don't improve fuel economy, but dilithium crystals do!

They certainly do work - they align the fuel molecules to a new perceived magnetic north - given the right alignment (you must place them in the correct spot), in theory, you could gain a real 8.95% improvement.

You should stick with the one specific for your car to make sure it was 'tuned' correctly.

I have yet to see conclusive proof - but damn - it makes good sense!
