Tornado Fuel Saver

I think the general consensus on this and other "miracle cure" products is this: If you could put a vortex generator on your intake, or a magnet on your fuel line, or some crap in your oil and it would improve power, fuel economy, the size of your thingie and save the rain forest then all of the auto manufacturers would have a similar device engineered into their cars in the first place.

The only Miricle Snake Oil I'll use is Marvel Mystery Oil: It'll clean out your oil system if you put some in a few (50-100) miles before an oil change. It's great if you have sticky hydraulic lifters. (Tapping noise on accelerration)

A direct answer to that question is no, it doesn't. Neither does the "Horsepower grounding wire kit," or any of the fuel system cleaners, or Splitfire spark plugs (or any platinum plug for that matter).

Sentinel hit on it, but there's always some schmuck willing to spend $100 on something for their car that won't make a lick of difference. A fool and his money and all that.

No.

Moderators: can we have a section on this site where we can post "Waste of Money" products so people don't have to wonder which ones to buy and which ones to skip? It would be a good section especially for newbies or those who have missed past discussions about bad products.
