that guy on trademe is making a killing off these bs torandos and magnectic strips. I reckon he must make $300-600 week clear profit from it,buys cheap from china or wherever then sells it on at retail, its screwed how people can get away with it and even companies like repco.

Just imagine if you fitted 10 of those fuel magnets, they reckon one gives a saving of 10% on your fuel usage so if you fitted 10 it wouldn't use any fuel at all!!!!.

Unfortunately some people are stupid & continue to get sucked in, giving the makers/sellers of these bogus products a job. If this stuff actually worked don't you think car manufacturers would fit them standard to get an edge over the opposition with regards to fuel economy etc.

Technically it would be 10% of what fuel you still where using after the last magnet so 2 magnets would save 19%, 10 would save 65.4%.



What a waste of time that was :lol:

I'm sure dyno runs would show a reduction in power, all your doing is obstructing the airflow with these, less air=less power.
