Different Way for Fuel Economy & Emissions

My brother-in-law introduced me to this product called the EnergyCel. I lifted my Z71 Chevy pickup with a 3 inch body lift and put 33 inch tires on. I lost about 80 miles per tank of gas. My brother-in-law said why don't you try this magnetic device and see what happens. Well I didn't have anything to lose, so I put it on. I was going on a bowling tournment with a friend of mine down in southern Georgia. I got 55+ miles additional on highway miles and now I'm averaging around 45 miles increase around the city. All I did was add this device on my fuel line. I guess I would like to know if anyone else out their has heard of this device and if any testing has been done by Nascar or the NHRA.

Let me guess: this magnet helped increase fuel economy by "aligning" the fuel molecules, right?

Is this the "new and improved" version? Can you also use this wonder product to enhance performance? And by the way, is that octane 93 you're wearing?????

Jeesh, just think what would happen if he added the tornado also. Man, he wouldn't have to buy gas for a month. Besides, everyone knows magnets are just for joint pain anyway. lol

Hello >My Name is Pedro Talavera
You will find it to be very dificult by most people to believe you. I am one of the distributors of Energycel and believe me is not easy.
I have a club of 49 k members and I have mentioned about it there and most of them are just completely closed minded about it. I am getting about 85 extra miles on my wife's 96 Windstar.
Anything I can do for you let me know. I will love you to show your findings in your excellent show.I see it most of the time, when I have the time.
Pedro Talavera.

Pardon our being skeptical but without providing trade secrets could you explain what makes it work? After all we've heard about and discussed many different types of snake oil here. Plus 99.9% of the posters here are all techincally minded. Is there a link that you could provide? If we don't believe the Tornado how can we believe anything else? If these after market products were any good don't you think it would be big news? And don't you think that auto manufacturers would have their own version of the same thing? Sorry, just being a little pessimistic.

This post is over three years old. Skeptical would be too kind a word; this is more of a fraud then a misrepresentation. If something of this sort worked, every manufacturer would use this as standard equipment so as not to incur the gas guzzler tax and/or to raise their corporate fuel ecomony average.

I got one on my pushmower, does wonders.
I think you put the magnet on there and got lightfooted and thats why your getting better gas mileage. Driving habits, can make all the difference in the world.

I thought something was weird when I didn't recognize a couple of the names. And silly me, I didn't check the date it was posted. Oh well, next topic? Ever have one of those days?

That's ok porky. I think you've been sitting too close to those magnetic antennas on you truck.

Oh no. That's not true. I removed those suction cups from my fore head when you mentioned the magnetic thing last year. Don't you remember seeing that big O or zero in my forehead?

Really, I'm ok. I just look and feel weird some times. (side affects?)
Anyway, I'll be right back. I have to plant some more 3 dollar bills. I'm waiting for that money tree to grow.

I truely think it makes a difference if your mower is left-handed or right-handed. Left handed mowers only improve by about 3.6%.... Right handed mowers have been known to improve by as much as 8.2%... I have a scientific paper quoting scientific tests performed in a controlled labratory by a team of elementry school students that these results are correct. They came to the conclusion that due to the gravitational pull and rotational speed of the earth that these results can be duplicated (inversely) in the southern hemisphere. The proof lies in the fact that the vortex of a tornado rotates clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and that the manufacturer of the tornado had to re-tool for tornados sold in the southern hemisphere.
