I have seen a number of adds for magnets that go on the fuel line and
increase gas mileage by 25%.  Is this pure hogwash?  If so how can they
advertise it and why do reputable stores carry these devices on their
shelves (Harbor Freight sells one)?  If it isn't hogwash why doesn't

Hey guys,
I'm hoping you can help me figure out what is wrong with my car. As

w/AC and has about 40k miles on it. It's been driven pretty lightly.

I'm taking on water on the passenger side of my 2000 Mazda Protege.
We've had a prolonged period of drought here in the midwest, so it's

dealer can't seem to find what's wrong.  I've also taken it to an
