A hotter engine will run more efficiently.

They tested these on Mythbusters, you can tell what the outcome was.
Did they really need to bother?
In fact, you could magnetize the entire car, have a large magnet attracting the car in the front bumper, and a magnet repelling the car in the rear bumper, and you'd never need to fill it up again!

As far as I'm aware it's fuel catalysts that were used, particularly on British built Merlin engines that were shipped to Russia as the Russian fuel wasn't as high spec as British leading to performance problems, particularly at altitude.I have heard of fighter aircraft in the second world war being fitted with broquet magnets in the fuel tanks to increase the aircraft's performance in poor fuel areas. I doubt the ebay things bear any resemblance though.
People are incredibly stupid.
Why do you think people spend £100 on an HDMI cable when you can buy them for about £2?
