He's talking about the thin metal things they want you to put in your intake, not a supercharger. No they don't. they just make it harder for the engine to get the air it needs.

I've seen both CNN and Popular Mechanics test one. And seen the dyno chart from a random guy on the Internet or two testing it too. Every time anybody's tried testing one of those things in a precise and scientific way, it's failed, miserably.

if its that thing that "spins the air" to get more or something... hell no... its a rip off...
i believe it was consumer reports did a piece about different fuel savers... that was last on the list... i do believe it got worse after installing it...
dont believe what they say on tv... they can say anything that want...

No, it cause your intake to work harder to bring in the air making it less efficient
