magnets for mileage

I would really like some opinions on this. I have been looking into the research on placing a magnetic field in the fuel line to improve mileage and performance.
Apparently this idea has been around since WW two . It was said to improve aviation fuel. I have seen different so called "test" promising great gains for autos but none for bikes.
If anyone has had any success with this I would love to know. Thanx,

Snake oil. Save your money.

Magnets on your oil drain plug to pull shavings out of the oil system, yeah, if you got steel parts in your drive train. Magnets to enhance your fuel delivery system, not unless you have a really old fuel delivery system on your bike. Yes, these were valuable somewhere around WWII when technology was simple enough that the very action of pumping fuel created enough friction in the moving parts to introduce metalic particles into the fuel system, but with modern fuel delivery systems these problems have been long aleviated. You don't have metal-metal scrubbing in a modern system. Like Greg said... snake oil.

If magnets worked on hydrocarbon molecules; BP would be using them to clean up the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico right now. Magnets don't work to increase fuel milage. Like BigWater and FX said: Snake Oil.

Magnets might work for the coils in the pavement, telling the stoplight timer that you are there. It is not worth what they are charging for the "Magic Green Light Magnet".

Good to hear from you, c.crawford.

Thanks Crawford... I didn't want to have to write another diatribe on hydrocarbons. ;)
