They forgot to add things like
adds 5-10 HP, and other misc stuff like turning your car into a hybrid and giving it the ability to make you grilled ham and cheese sandwiches while you drive, while simultaneously doing your dishes and your neighbor kids homework! didnt this start out as some sort of farmer's trick for something a long time ago? |

MADDOG, get your facts straight! The hover car upgrade only works on a DMC-12... So, unless your car looks like this: you will not be able to use the Powermag Magnetic Fuel Saver to get your car into hover mode... (It has something to do with the interaction with the stainless steel body work of the DMC-12 and the magnetic fields generated when the Powermag is optimizing fuel flow.)

I do believe this is yet another scam to lighten the wallets of the unsuspecting. For me, I shall pass on this particular fuel economy enhancement.

Air Swirler...
The gas line magnet...reminds of a device that a friend of mine put in his carburetor. It looked like an aluminum turbine blade. It was supposed to 'swirl' the air as it went through the carburetor throat to better mix the gas with air.
He found no change in mileage until one of the blades broke off and went into the engine. He didn't use any more gasoline until they took the engine apart to repair it. |

Hahaa.. This junk has been around as long as the automobile. Even the manufacturers aren't above such rubbish, look at some of the ads from the 40s and 50s to see what I mean. Mr. Nelson is right...

Most car companies have billion dollar research and development departments dedicated to getting the best performance out of a car,odd gimmicks like the one here have usually been tried and tested and found to be useless,if they did anything at all you can bet they'd be standard equipment on most cars.
