i was just wondering if anyone has a tornado fuel saver or knows someone that has this thing installed in their car? I just wanted to know how well it worked.

Wait... if you think about it... it doesn't even make sense logically.
"Install the Tornado Fuel Saver in the air-intake of your vehicle for better gas mileage and increased horsepower! The Tornado Fuel Saver is an automotive air channeling tool that creates a swirling air motion, allowing the air to move faster and more efficiently by continuously whirling air around corners and bends. " When did increasing HP ever increased fuel efficiency? HP and fuel efficiency have an inverse relationship. If more air = better gas mileage... then who needs hybrids, everyone get turbo! |

[right][snapback]332628[/snapback][/right] actually increasing power can have a positive effect on fuel effiency. It means you have more power available at lower rpms, thus the car is not working as hard to provide the same amount of power. However that is not how most people drive, so most people wont see this kind of result. This is why there is actually some benefit from auto racing where they are out to get the most power out of an engine, eventually that tech does trickle down to the consumer (albeit in a lesser form), it does help increase the gas mileage and such. Really it all comes down to how you drive it -------------------- AIM : FAQdaWorld
