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.

I wouldn't say its a total scam because it does work. I bought it a year ago and installed it into my stock celica and even though I didn't feel an increase in horsepower, I did get a couple more miles per tank. Except, the gain in MPG is so minimal that I wouldn't say its worth buying. I drive highway most of the time too so that may have soemthing to do with how effective it is, because supposedly it only works when there's more air going into it. I don't use it anymore because of a CAI now though.

Make that 2. After putting this tornado in, I have tested my average MPG everytime I fill the tank. I gained about 3miles extra each gallon after the test. I tested it many times and some how this thing works, but I'm happy.
