Course it will, you pay me £100 for my magnets and you wont' be able to spend it on fuel, thus saving you from spending it on fuel.

I could save you more money on fuel if you want? winkeye

The only fuel saving mod I've found to work is the fitting of the energy saving tyres..

Though the old tyres we're pretty well worn, I got noticeably better mpg with new tyres on..

I have heard that the magnets do actually work. they laminate the fuel flow which helps with energy release or some thing. but have no experience and seen no proof

Sod it, just drop a deep fat fried Mars Bar in the tank for extra lubrication and a few extra kilajoules of energy.

325i heads are made of chocolate anyway, so the deposits will beef it up.

Some of the strongest magnets you can buy live in the Harddrive of your computer.. How about digging them out, strapping them on and letting us know the results?

After the fuel has been reduced to droplets by the injectors how can it remember that it has been 'laminated'?

I would put a magnet in my beer if I thought it would last longer.

If they worked, wouldn't they already be fitted from the factory?

How's about installing one of these little beauties - someone (who claims to be a Shaman!) just e-mailed me bringing it to my attention, claiming to have gained another 11mpg after fitting it
