Fuel Magnets

Has anyone tried those fuel magnets that are supposed to increase your MPGs? I hear and see a lot about them but haven't talked to anyone that knows first hand.

Harbor freight had them half off (should tell you something) so I bought one to try on my tacoma. I figured I have wasted money in worse ways. It works Well, ok, so my mileage didn't go up, but the power is phoenominal. I am pretty sure I could out tow a powerstroke with my little 4 banger now Alright, I am lying, nothing changed but the fact that I wasted a few $$ on my little test. Oh well. Save your money

If they really increased mpg, don't you think manufacturers would've installed them a LONG time ago? Ted's right..........save your money.
