I'm sure some of you have seen this around before, but I stumbled upon it on eBay the other day.  It's this little magnetic device that you attach to your fuel line in order to 'help separate the fuel molecules before the enter the engine for a more efficient burn.'  It's called Turbomag on the auction I seen, but there may be others out there.  They claim to be more effective in reducing fuel consumption than actual performance gain, but did state that a small increase in power may be noticed.  Here is the link:

What is your guys take on this?

Yup.  Useless gimmick.  Save your money.

If you really want improved gas mileage spend that money on a new O2 sensor or air filter and inflate your tires.  Those things will help more than that garbage.
