Exclamation mileage booster SCAMS FYI..

Just in case any of you were wondering about those magnetic fuel things or the air intake vortex thingy-majig...
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY>>

From CNN..

The EPA tests very few new devices that claim to save fuel. The EPA will only test a device if the manufacturer specifically requests it or if the FTC requests the test to back up an enforcement action.


Copies of the EPA's test results are posted on the agency's Web site. Overall, those results support the idea that consumers should approach alleged fuel-saving devices with, at the very least, a great deal of caution, said Millet. None of the devices tested produced appreciable fuel economy gains, he said.

More From CNNMoney
Some concepts -- such as magnet-based devices and devices that go into the vehicle's air intake system -- have already been proven ineffective and would no longer even warrant testing, Millett said.


Just last year, the FTC got an injunction against one company that used e-mail marketing to sell a magnetic device that, the company said, would improve mileage by 27 percent. (The manufacturer in that case, while accepting the injunction, denied any wrongdoing in court documents.)
