MR C., Mctimson has graciously offered to help with verfication of results. He will test on his vehicle and I will remove magnet and drive to endicott this sat. for a mini test to see if milage drops.

Hondo434, an objective way to prove gains is to log your OBD-II data without the magnet and then log OBD-II data with the magnet. You can use CarChip to log your data. Carchip has software to export these data. Once exported the data can be further analyzed and compared "OBD-II Data Easy Viewer". Google this text "greenfuelbooster OBD-II data easy viewer". I wrote the program and made it free for download. It will show exactly the difference.

What would cause your car to have 8 MPG better than EPA estimates... without changing anything... Hm. Don't drive like the EPA expects you to.

Regardless of any side argument you can come up with, I'm sure no one at this point is even paying attention except enough to see if you actually come up with a valid set of test data to prove your claims.

If you can't at least do that, then to you I say, "Good Day."

Ha Ha, testing magnets.

It's a waste of fuel, but at least it keeps em busy.

Greenfuelbooster, Thankyou for you post, I'm thinking I would have to buy some equipment to use that software? I do have a question for you. I can get a ob II unit at autozone. They lend it out as courtesy. I don't remember the model, Could something like that get the info and be able to download to computer?

What if you took those magnets and glued them over the stop light sensors

Might save gas when you hit all those green lights
