Scam. Doesn’t do anything. Waste of money.

Same goes for all other devices for which similar claims are made.

Doesn’t work. They ran tests on the tornado and found it didn’t improve engine performance and in some cases degraded engine performance. [http://smallbusiness.aol.com/business-auto-center/article/\_a/gas-saving-devices-remain-unproven/20081024150309990001?icid=200100397x1212590831x1200774813](http://smallbusiness.aol.com/business-auto-center/article/_a/gas-saving-devices-remain-unproven/20081024150309990001?icid=200100397x1212590831x1200774813)

Think of it like this. If any of these things actually worked, you would think the auto manufacturers would include them in their engine designs. Afterall, they’re looking for the most fuel mileage from their vehicles.

Scam…Waste of money…Does not work. It actually impedes airflow into the engine.
