Default Anyone use Tornado Gas Saver????

I'm just curious if I could increase my milage with this thing or is it all hype? I would think they're more designed for the larger SUV or trucks...but will they help with small compacts?

If you believe those things actually work... you got duped by fancy advertising of a hoax of a product.

See this rock here.... this rock keeps away tigers. Nope, no tigers here. I'll sell it to you for $50 + S/H.

Does it increase flow? I'd love that. Sometimes when you cut ass it just keeps coming and you need to move on...with a less restrictive system I'd be able to get it done and over with and save time.
