How about magnetized acetone? I'd try it but I'm afraid it might make turn into a zombie.

My favorite quote:

Does your car have an ECU? If not don't expect any milage gain. The magnets should still clean the system.
I don't know about you, but I have been around long enough, and lived through enough gasoline shortages, to know that magnets were being touted as fuel saving devices long before there were ECU's. Long before digital computers, in fact.

That reminds me. When I used to fix Divco milk delivery trucks, a couple of the guys clipped wooden clothespins to the fuel lines. Claimed they prevented vapor lock, improved performance, and gave them better gas mileage. (The delivery guys paid for their own gas so they were always trying to maximize mileage.) Maybe wooden clothespins will be the next big thing!
