Yesterday I received the Harbor Freight catalog in the mail.  On page 38 top row there is a device called "Fuel Master", item number 36098-3RTH.  It is a magnet in two parts that you strap around your fuel line.  The add states:
 
"Simply strap to your fuel line to save gas and increase engine efficiency.  Fuel Master's magnetic field breaks up clusters of hydrocarbon for more complete burning. Use on cars, trucks, tractors, generators, motorcycles, boats and small engines.  11.6% average highway fuel savings as tested by a U.S. EPA accepted laboratory.  Prevents buildup of dirt in engine injectors."  It costs $9.99.
 
Is this smoke and mirrors or does this thing really work?  I do not understand the  physics in this idea.  Anyone know the answer?
