yeah, a gimmick, and plus let's face it... It's a Jeep

You could put a hybrid 4-cyl motor in it and it would still somehow suck gas lol

In this little town call Sanfrancisco, and the bridge is kind of a gold color. 100 bucks and it's yours.

Cool

the only fuel saver that works on a jeep is to leave it in the driveway and take something else

Hello to everybody

About this post I may say: My Cherokee Xj when I bough, came with two magnets installed at the end of the fuel line, before the fuel intake, over a rubber tube.

The mean gas consumption was 9.2 Km/Lt. And in Highway gets about 11 Km/lt at 107 Km/h with cruise control and Conditioned Air. The stock consumption given by Jeep is 7.5 Km/Lt. Then I may sure the system works.

But with the time the mileage was loosing because the magnets lose its force by the engine temperature.

Now I will install a new system that works at 189ºC, then the performance will be better.

Next week, when I will go about 300 Km, I will get the new measurement. And will publish here.

Now i strongly question this... I would think that one if you have a magnet installed its not going to do anything for you and two the only way it would is subconcously you think about the magnet helping your gas milage so you keep your foot out of the petal a little bit. I mean it could work but i doubt it. and X2 for its a jeep your gonna get crumy milage with anything lol

garbage in my opinion. "The Fuel Saver with high power GTE magnetic technology un-clump the fuel molecules into order, allowing your fuel molecules to be burned much easier." quote for the site. What will happen when it hit a bend in the fuel line, the injectors turning on and off or mixing in your carb float bowl??? It causes turbulence and mixes the "ionized particles" back up. So in turn it won't work. All you need to do is drive smart and keep your jeep tuned up.

If you want to "Ionize" octane.... I won't be anywhere around for that. If you want to put a magnet on your gas line.... go for it. Ionize means to give it a charge, probably by stripping off a H. then you'll have Hydrogen gas accumulating as well as a reactive alkane (Octane) that has a charge. Hydrogen gas and reactive Alkane = neutral octane after it re-reacts OR a huge explosion, I'm actually not sure what would happen. It would probably re-react and then you'll end up with (wait for it) GAS... just the same as when you started. Gas "un-clumping" is BS. It'll clump as long as its still an octane molecule. I hate things like these, people really need to be more educated on scam pieces of **** like this
