I have two fuel injected vehicles and have had magnets on them for several years. my milage has stayed at higher levels the whole time and recently I drove the Maxima on a longer trip to the state of Virginia (about 840 mile trip) and achieved 36 mpg which the best so far, and that's with both swaybar linkes broken and the front end shaking and 62 mpg. These cars are v-6 automatic trans. I can't, and nobody else can tell you why magnets do or don't help your milage. All I can tell you is they work for me and I'm happy. If you feel you don't want to try magnets, that's you choice. I feel that the magnets cause some change in the fuel that causes a change in the ECU. The ECU has a lot of varience in each parameter. I feel the magnets cause the ECU to adjust to a leaner mix. If you don't see results soon you may have to dissconect the negative battery cable for 24 hours to reset the parameters, then drive on the highway at optimum milage speed for 30 minutes or until ECU maps your driving habits. This can take 1-10 driving trips. Good luck!

I 've only wrote in this thread what I have readen about the theme "magnets" in other sources than this forum. It's pleasant that magnets worked for you, but I think that in most cases magnets will not give any results in cars equipped with electronic fuel injection systems.
