Default Tornado fuelsaver...

With the price of gas going out of control, I'm looking for almost anyway to save some money. Just wondering if anybody has any experience using one of these things in their car. www.tornadofuelsaver.com And if you have, what kind of improvement if any you have noticed. Mahalo!

sorry to tell you, but no it won't work at all.. it's been tested by people in reality.. not just some "report" someone found. it doesn't work. wished it was that easy to get better fuel economy.

But just like the others said, don't slam on the gas, drive like a grandma (slow n easy).. plus make sure you have enough air in your tires, etc.. that's really the only way to get better gas mileage..

I did find that using BP brand gas gave me better gas mileage, i did try a couple different brands, drove the same way, and BP ended up giving me more mpg's.. might try some BP and see what happens with your mpg's..

You have to understand that this device is an obstruction behind the filter in your car. Since the air has to go around it, the air gets slowed down. This means the engine has to work harder to get more air. This might even hurt your gas milage. Dont get suckered into this bs. And btw tests can be "fixed" so that any equipment looks good. Dont believe what you see.
