"Tornado Air System" (As Seen on TV)? It's "designed to enhance fuel economy and increase power. Increases gas mileage up to 24%." I just saw it in a Pep Boys ad and was wondering if it does what it says. Does anyone have it or knows of it?
Yeah, I noticed some people already spoke of this a while ago but does anyone have any new insight? Thanks. |

It would be easy to fabricate a 'test' where you didn't change a thing and ended up with 24% better gas mileage. Our spec miata which is really very stock, gets about 11mpg on the race track...sometimes as good as 12. On a long highway trip driving like a grandma and drafting off every honkin SUV you can, I guarantee I could get 35mpg with the same car. Thats like a 300% increase....so its not going to be very difficult to make up a 24% 'increase'. Measuring gas mileage is so impercise anyway. |
