And at 61MPH, you were still getting passed... in fact, you were probably getting beeped at too. I used to live in Endicott, and I'm still only about an hour away.

Magnets on the fuel line = rigamarole. Period, full stop. Until you can prove otherwise, please stop trying.

As far as your claims that noone can properly test the effect of magnets on fuel, it's a bunk claim. We don't need to test the effect of magnetism on fuel, we need only test the claim that it will make you get better fuel efficiency.

The side by side tests might be invalid, you could be correct about that, however, any road test will show the same thing. At the same speed, in the same conditions, on the same engine, with the same tire pressures, etc, the magnets vs. the non-magnets have repeatedly shown no improvement in efficiency.

It really doesn't matter what effect magnetism has on fuel, the net effect (what you're actually looking for) is whether or not you get better efficiency with it. If you're burning more efficiently, you can do the same work with less fuel. This can be measured easily. The EPA testing stands, and your claims are un-backed to this point.
