Fuel line location
It does sound pretty bogus.
That's mechanically impossible. To go X speed, the engine and transmission always have to spin the same speed regardless of engine efficiency, short of swaping out gears.
If you want to save gas, accellerate slower and cruise at a lower speed. Putting magnets on your fuel line won't do anything to the milage, but it is an amazing placebo.

I did not post here to get critical reaction. I did not come in here saying I have a product that everyone must own. I came in here asking for help with the location of a fuel line. I am not a total beliver yet also. What I do know is I put one on a '03 Honda Element and I went from 20 MPG to 22-23 MPG. I took it off to put it on the Acura and I went back to 20 MPG on the Element. Oh and it was not a 1 tank test. It was 7, which is not a lot but I did get cosistently better MPG. As far as the mechanical part of using less RPM going same speed is maybe my illusion, but the car seams to run better to me.
The newer TL's have those plastic covers over the engine, you need to rip that off. Look for the fuel rails, find the one with the pressure regulator. The hose coming off the regulator is the return line, if it has one. The opposite rail should have the feed line.
They may have been using a non-returning system by '99. If that is the case, the fuel feed will be the only line to the fuel rails.

Change in highway or idle rpm is complete bullshit.
Unless maybe you have a torque convertor that doesn't lock up.

Oh and this is what I am told as far as why it does not clump back. The way the magnets are alligned they create centrifical force. That is why you install as close to the engine as possible. I am not an engineer and I am only reporting what I have been told.
If anyone cares the Element with the FuelCell off has gone to 19 MPG, down from 23 MPG. The Acura went from 22 MPG to 23 MPG on the first tank. I am wanting better from the Acura. I will give it time and more tanks and see where it goes.
