Haha your sounding kinda like that kid who dumped NOS into his gixxer.

In answer to your question Longshot (and remember this was way back in the 70's - before many of you were born), the atomizer broke the fuel down into even "finer" droplets that would supposedly burn more efficiently!

I honestly don't know why I fell for that now that I've reached my "golden years". I certainly knew enough then to realize this was a totally bogus line of reasoning. I think I was just "young", and naive.

One thing that DID work though, was Mobil 1 oil. It added an honest 2mpg to my gas mileage! Of course it had a lower viscosity index than the 20W40 (or was it 20W50?) I was using before I tried it, and I'm certain that was the major reason, but it sure was a lot more expensive, more so then than now.

Well I guess that might work if you were running WAY rich. That would probably be a good idea on those little nitro cars and air planes because you have to run them rich anyway.

How about those "energy cells" that was 3 magnets that clamped around the fuel line and "re-aligned the fuel molecules" as you drove.

[Jackpine]

Those are "companions" to the magnet innersoles that were supposed to help tired feet or the magnetic pads you wore on your back to cure back pain and didn't they have wrist bands to help circulation? I wonder if you stuck a magnet in your hat if it might align your brain cells to make your thinking "far right", or turned the other way, "far left"? I think some of our "leaders" have these installed, perhaps permanently.

I have to jump in and defend SOME of the magnet therapy bands Jack , as for vehicles, i know nothing about them, but I do know that my Q-Ray wrist braclet I could not live with out over the last 4 years, i don't take it off anymore. I was very sceptical when watching them on tv and all that , but then i started doing some research on them and the history of the application of magnetic force and the human body. And since i have treated my body like an amusement park with my MMA career over the past 18 yrs i figured it wouldn't hurt to try. To make a long story short after about 3 months of wearing it , i did notice better movement in my joints especially hands , so i took it off after wearing it for a year , and again in a couple short months , stiffness and morning fatigue set in. Put it back on and same amount of time , with no change to my life style habits i notice the gain of mobility back. So i do the defend ONLY the q-ray magnet braclets lol. The rest i have no idea about. Especially vehicles, but i know the big magnet in my tranny pan does its job as well

wayyyy off topic lol
