NOW I understand why my truck gets good mileage. I have half a dozen neodymium magnets in a cabinet in my workshop. They are 3/8" X 1" X 2", so they have a REALLY GOOD force field.

Since they are so powerful, maybe I should put them in the truck. On the other hand, it would probably make gas, overflow the tank, and start a fire.
