i was looking through catalogues as i usually do and came about a k-mart ad for ProZone fuel savers
these little buggers are guarenteed to reduce fuel consumption, improve performance and lower emissions.
they go for about 132.99 a hit.
wondering if anyone tried it and if they have would they recommend it ?
ProZone fuel saver Vs after market ECU ?

hah ha hahhahah 
are these the magnets that "straighten fuel molecules" so they burn better, or "break down fuel molecules", or "align this or that or whatever" ??
seriously, the only data or proof that they work (any of the things you clamp aroudn your fuel line, ie fuel conditioners) is the testimonials of pp with big fat cars that also changed the oil and air filter at the same time....
one of the sites for these products would only sell them in combination with a K&N air filter!! i wonder where the gain came from.. the magnet on the fuel line, or the replacing of the clogged stock filter with a new and shiny K&N??
that really are a waste of time (tho some would call me an unbeliever  )... but if you can find on their site any scientific reason why it would work, i'd be happy to use one 
hmmm

Prozone Fuelsaver is a fuel catalyst made from a unique combination of 16 alloys and metals formed into amalgams. The metals in Prozone Fuelsaver work in conjunction with fuel hydrocarbons - improving combustion and eliminating the need for Lead and other additives to act as a valve seat cushion. The Prozone catalyst has a life expectancy of over 400,000klms.
On entering the Prozone Fuelsaver device, the fuel passes over one (FS1) or more (FS2-FS4) complex alloy cores. The cores are specially designed to create turbulence in the fuel flow path, enriching the fuel and maximizing the take-up of trace metals. The fuel then passes through a sintered ceramic magnetic core which alters the free electron structure of the fuel, polarizing the fuel hydrocarbons prior to combustion
The two processes, chemical and ferro-magnetic, essentially alter the molecular structure of the fuel to encourage better bonding between fuel molecules and atmospheric oxygen promoting a more complete oxidation of the fuel and, hence, a more efficient combustion process. Additionally, the metal alloy catalyst is deposited in molecular quantities in the combustion chambers, coating the vulnerable surfaces of the valves, valve seats and piston rings to prevent overheating, aid sealing and enhance engine lubrication.

so what does it do?? it sound slike the fuel dissolves trace metals in the device, the magnet then "alters the free electron structure of the fuel"... hmmm by moving them to a higher energy electron shell? i think not.
wow, and then the trace metals deposit INSIDE YOUR MOTOR!!
bugger...
better to spend the cash on a better air filter (if yours is restrictive) or a better exhaust, or save toward an ECU....
i don't think K-mart should be allowed to sell them.
