Over the weekend amidst removing the air intake from my SVT, I was bombarded by commercials for the Tornado fuel saver. For those who haven't seen it, it is a small metal device with air foils that you insert into your main air intake tube. The device supposedly creates a "tornado" effect on the incoming air which they claim makes for more efficient mixing of fuel and air and ultimately better combustion. Makes sense, in theory. As a result of their wonderful product they claim gas mileage will noticably increase and well as horsepower, which they "proved" using a dyno.

Sounds like a waste of $70 to me, but just thought I'd see if anyone here actually decided to blow the money and try it. And if so, what were your results?
