Lol, and I was just getting ready to write to Texaco and tell them to start using Neodymium magnets to split hydrocarbon chains. At the refinery here, they're still using the old-fashioned method of high heat and catalysts

Man--just wrap the Neodymium tape around the well-head and send the effluent directly to the consumer pump!!! Cuts out all those middlemen.

So how is this "different"? The fuel-saver scams have, for several years, fallen into either the " airstream vortex" or the "fueline magnetizing" classes.

Infact, I watched a review once where this actually took away horsepower. Something about snapping it onto the fuel line too close to the engine and it causing the sparks to misfire or some bullshit like that. Either way, if 20 bucks is all it took to get better gas mileage, do you think any manufacturer would forego installing it? Common sense please..

Where did you get this weird idea?

You don't have any idea how freakin crazy Japan is. Very cool country but also very crazy and socially repressed.

There is lots of lie-ing / saving face in Japan. Just look at the big bank scandal several years back.

i have always trusted a japanese brand, come on now, i remember there were days if its not built in japan you just dont buy.... although i can see how they lied about the HP in our 8s and with all the problems that we faced. i still have faith in their brands.

premixing is acutally saved some gas..... but honestly i dont care. it just looked cool that it reduces emmision. just though the car would be optimal. PREMIX IS THE **** car is so much smoother.
