Easiest way to spend $50 on your vehicle with very little payback. Probably gets you as much as a K&N intake system.
If it increased your mileage as much as the maker claims, the vehicle manufacturers would install it at the factory.
The only 2 things it will increase is the thickness of the sellers wallet and your skull.

For any given engine, just about everything else is baloney (to cite a solid American word).

Things that work:
- lower rolling resistance tires.
- higher air pressure (within limits)
- lower viscosity oil (like 5W-20)
- less weight (toss out the kids or the seats)
- slower cruising speeds (less air resistance below 60 mph.)
- keep the windows closed
- keep roof loads loaded toward the rear.
- only drive down hill.

Downhill with the wind.

Magnets, petrol additives and the like are in the realms of voodoo.

I have a 1973 Caddy Coupe De Ville... I bought the Tornado for it and was hoping it would decrease the fuel usage.. I put it in, didn't do s*it.....

Ever since I put one in my 300M I've been getting 200 mpg. I'm also planning on making a $1000000 with this work at home idea I read about on the internet.
