Looks like a "back yard" construction. A plastic tie rap to hold it on and a cast piece of magnetized metal.....wow!!!
Isn't that the "technology" the FTA, DOT, Consumer's Reports, Myth Busters, and MOST State Attorney Generals say is BS and does not work?
Amazing how they can add claims by users stating increased gas mileage, performance, etc. Guess some people are really thick headed and thin skinned.

Actually when it comes to gas mileage, I think people look for the magic bullet instead of doing all the practical exercises the known, and credentialed, expects relate.
It's somewhat related to the "lose weight" idea. Instead of doing the standard (and frankly realistic......calories in= calories out), they look for their magic bullet in a pill, group of pills, some typr of "special" apparatus, diet plan, etc.
Both of these areas generate billions of dollars in "assistance" products, in their respective industries.
Oh better say, in some instances, these products are needed because of various reasons. But according to related studies only about 10%.......and way less than 10% of these miracle mileage enhancements work.
