IIRC, there was a time when the only device that the EPA had ever tested 
and found to work as advertized (to improve fuel economy) was a vacuum 
switch which disabled the AC compressor when you really put your foot 
down. I always thought this was a good idea, but it just never caught the 
public's fancy because it just wasn't as sexy as magnets in the gas tank.  

I think I have seen these for sale even in the last few years. They would do 
what Shad suggests, automatically.
