The Tornado Fuel Saver?

I saw this thing on tv and I wanted to know if any has ever tried it. I know they fabricate their numbers to be more impressive, but it seems that it may be worth, especially with high gas prices and low miles per gallon in my car. It has more info at
www.myauto.tv

Thanks.

With all of the research and development the big 3 auto makers put into their products, don't you think if this tornado was beneficial in any way that they would have used the idea? I have heard nothin but bad things about those tornadoes. All they do is BLOW your money. Don't buy into all the crap you see on TV cause if it were as good as they say you would be seeing them all over new cars.

Dyno tests have shown no increase in performance, actually I've seen 1-5 HP decreases.

"Swirling" the air in the intake is relatively useless.
The big gains from swirling comes in the heads.

Thanks. I wasn't about to buy one so don't worry. Infomercials always make up stuff, but if that thing really did increase my gas mileage 25% and gave me 10 more horse power I would get it.

No kind of HP is gained that easy i dont care what they say...

If you want to buy something worth the money K&N's are pretty good for the money. Wont ever have to buy paper ones ever again. but when u wash them FOR GODS SAKE oil them afterwards.
