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] they say it cuts down on frictional drag... kinda like using light weight pullys.... the engine doesn't have to work as hard. This, however, I don't think would work because all the angle changes and the butterfly on the throttle body straightening out the air and keeping it from spiraling. If you cut spiral rifling into your runners on the intake however... I could see that helping a bit more than this. |
