Gas Saver Thing
Anyone ever heard or seen of some gas saving thing you place over the fuel line and somehow it ionically changes the fuel composition and ends up saving gas?
Opinions? Experience? B.S.??

although i do not know from personnal experience, i would have to call on this.
I have read TONS of webforums about this, some swear they work, others swear they dont. So who knows? I'll go with "if it sounds to good to be true..."
I googled quick and found this on Pop. mech.

Fuel Magnet
It's a Rare-Earth Magnet. I got mine from J.C.Whitney catalog.

I still think this is subjective. I am not saying either side is right or wrong, because i really don't know.
I wathched this same discussion unfold about the iCat (or whatever it is called now) people on both sides of the fence on that one that i trusted to be honest. Yay's & Nay's equally across the board. I finally bought one myself just to prove it to myself once and for all. bottom line for me? It didnt do a damn thing except drain my wallet. I gave it to a friend to try, and on his bike, it was a highly noticable and beneficial difference.
Exact same device, identical model bikes, nearly identical mods done to both, exact same jetting on the exact same carb, worked on his, did nothing on mine.
I still don't get that. I suspect this is going to be the same.
for a few bucks, i will probably get suckered into it at some point, if it works, great; if it doesnt, one more for the parts heap.

I must drive too aggressive, all these posts about 20+ mpg and getting improved mileage with mods are frustrating to me. I have made mods and am getting 16.5 - 17 mpg all the time. Got about 3000 miles on the clock, so maybe needs more time and miles. Oh well good or bad mileage, got to get in the traffic and go.
