Default gas mileage gimmicks?

I heard somewhere that running a lighter viscosity oil will reduce engine
drag and increase mileage. Never tried it myself though.... Sounds like
there would be a trade off in engine life... piston/cylinder compression
etc...

I was wondering about any of those gas milage gimmicks that are around teh

car
industry. I know the "tornado" fuel savor is a crock of ****, but what

about
others. I've seen some things that are magnets that clip on your fuel

line,
countless stuff you put in your fuel tank and oil. does anythign at all

work,
is it all bogus? anyone find anything that works for them? just wondering,

all
I've used are fuel injector cleaner but have never really noticed any

increases
in gas mileage or improvement in starting or anything else. thanks
