Field fuel saver?
A Rand Corporation report says that Save the World Air needs to conduct further laboratory studies and in-use testing of its fuel saving ideas.

A Rand Corporation report says that the North Hollywood, CA- company Save the World Air needs to conduct further laboratory studies and in-use testing to determine the effectiveness of its Zero Emission Fuel Saver (ZEFS) technology that is intended to reduce tailpipe pollutants and increase fuel efficiency in gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles.
‘Rand's analysis of laboratory testing data provided by Save the World Air that deals with the performance of the ZEFS device installed in vehicles found at best mixed results from the tests and therefore could not confirm the effectiveness of the technology in actual use,’ said Michael Toman, director of the Environment Energy and Economic Development program at Rand, which carried out the study.
Save the World Air says that the magnets in its ZEFS device change the viscosity of fuel when it passes through the magnetic field. Such a change would help increase fuel economy and reduce pollutants by improving the combustion of fuel, according to the company.
