There are about a dozen previous post about this, none of which are positive.

What I'm a gonna do is to sell a 250 lb valve spring for $50. that bolts under your gas pedal, so you have to strain to get your car over 55 mph.... Guaranteed to save gas.... and the $50. you spend will be returned within a month. OK, I think it's a better idea than the TORNADO..... send your orders to "current_rip_off.com" I'll send you the kit within the next decade.

Hey, I've seen that infomercial! My favorite is the bumper hook. Just get behind a semi, extract the hook and attach it to the truck and let the semi do the work. Instantly you increase your gas milage ten fold!! Just log on to aren'tyougullible.com and order now!

westbound on I 80... I've actually SEEN weenies slip-streaming semi trailers and buses trying to increase their gas mileage... The only problem is.. I've actually SEEN a car buried under a trailer up past it's windshield.. NOT a pleasant sight..

I hope you realize I was making that up, similar to your last post. Of course it's moronic to tailgate a semi just for gas milage. If not, I've got some real estate off the florida keys I'll sell cheap!

One would have be crazy and not deserve a licence to draft with a vehicle that has the entire view blocked in front of him. I get nervous just thinking about it. On a differant note, Has any one seen the movie where they put one of there drunk buddies in the drivers seat and on the wrong side of the road and another pulls a semi rig to the front and then they get in the car with the drunk one and all start screaming LOOKOUT LOOKOUT and the guy wakes and starts steering and the car is not even running, I laughed so hard when I seen that, I just cant remember where it was. I am laughing now as I write this, and another gag that is funny is the guy on candid camera the has a water spray hooked up in a flower on his shirt and acts like he sneezes on a total stranger and they feel the mist, the look on the faces is so funny, oh I have to stop, the laughing is getting me..good stuff.

Just so you guys know the state of Wisconsin has called this thing a scam and it was on the news that it didn't do any thing as far as saving gas or getting any more horsepower.

I watched TGG and then This Old House on my TIVO last night. Then I went to bed after eating a PB&J sandwich. Big mistake. I had a horrible nightmare.
Dave and Sam changed their show to be more like these home improvement shows. Each episode was a visit to someone's home to work on the owner's vehicle. They were fixing the muffler on this POS car and then the owner got a free Tornado Fuel Saver for being on the show. Yikes! It was bizarre.
Hey... on second thought... maybe this could be the next reality series.
Well, maybe not.

I have put one in my truck and have not noticed any improvement.
I found more improvement with an K & N Air filter.

I have idiot's do that all the time to me. the bad thing is if I stop they can't and boom under they go. another good one is when they pass on the right side. A women did just that and she drilled a cop at 55 mph shoved the trunk up to the rear window that cop was pi**ed she got jail time. Last november I had a young chick try to pass on the right and she hit my right front tire and spun out she told the cop I ran her off the road, and the cop told her then how come the marks from his tire start's on the center of your door.and the right lane ended fifty feet back. She got a ticket for unsafe mergging the cop told her she was lucky she could have been killed
