Fuel Saver?
Has anyone used the Super FuelMax available at:
http://www.irdusa.com/superfuelmax/? It supposedly promises MPG increases of as much as 27%. While I realize that there are many unfulfilled promises by products today, thought I would check in here first and ask before dismissing it. Thanks in advance for your thoughts and opinions

I think what you are looking at is the same thing that was discussed in this thread.

Personally I don't see how it works. Aligning the electrons in the fuel has very little to do with combustion, if any in my opinion.
Hope this answers some questions. They had a really good discussion on the other fuel saver.

Check out the Federal Trade Commision's report on it and the EPA's testing of the device which shows the claims are false:

All that promise means is that it won't increase mileage by more than 27%. An increase of 0% is not more than 27%, so it will meet it's promise if it does nothing. A loss of 10% is also not more than a 27% increase, so if you lose 2 MPG it still met it's promise.
If something this simple increased mileage why wouldn't the auto companies already use it? They are under incredible pressure to increase fuel economy.
