    Those might be my favorite. I mean, even if they did align all the molecules (they can't and don't,) what kind of Idjit thinks they're going to stay that way going through a fuel filter, the lift pump, and the injectors? Some of the others you actually have to have a bit of knowledge of chemistry to see through their pseudoscience BS (looking at you in particular, ECOTAZ,) but it's just common sense that those magnets ain't doing a thing for ya.

    PT Barnum's maxim is alive and well.

    I've never listened to the guy for even a second.

    I'm tragically un-hip to all these gadgets.

    I remember when I started in 05, in school the one guy started speaking of additives, other gimmicks, and he's like,"We have 5,000 tractors. Do you have any idea how much fuel and maintenance that is? If we could squeeze even 1% out of all that stuff, you can bet we'd be using it."

    Seems logical.

    Yeah I think it was back in the late 90’s or so
    Was suppose to spin the fuel. Installed before filters and such. T/A and Petro sold that #### and old KEVIN R was sellin that ####. Believe a you tube video exists for a good chuckle.
    Seen many scams come and go since 1989
    Bunch of con artists trying to get your money

    Rutherford is one of those guys that just a little more enthusiastic about things than he has mental capacity to evaluate. When fuel was $5, his fuel economy obsession made sense, and I learned a bit from him. Low rolling resistance tires, economy tunes, slow the heck down... good stuff for a newby to learn.

    He just jumps on every new thing as if it's the one thing that's going to make a difference to an O/O, and it never does. Airtabs and a flow below aren't going to make much difference. It's not just money with an average return at best, but it takes away focus and energy from where it is needed more: serving the customer and improving revenue.

    His tax advise is pretty solid, and he makes some good points about basic business management (know your numbers, etc). But, jeebus, he won't stop flogging trivial products.
