The only thing you'll gain is debt.
If it worked - GM - and every other manufacturer - would make it standard equipment.

I agree with the others that this is just a gimmick. However if you want to increase MPGs, this is what I would recommend. First off make sure the plugs are clean and gapped correctly. Clean air filters, and proper oil levels. Make sure tires are inflated to max PSI. Then try using Lucas gas additive. Just 6oz at each fillup will give noticable increase, like 2-3 mpgs more in my case. Avoide using all those other additives since they will foul your plugs eventially. And the best and obvious gas saver is to drive slower and less acceleration from stops.

Mike,
I have to go with several others here. Get a cold air intake instead of the tornado. There are several manufactureres of cold air intakes, like K&N, Air Raid, and others. At least then you will get better performance.

I look at it this way .If it really worked wouldn`t car manufactures put it on there vehicles to increase gas mileage. then you look a the principle . swirling effect . but then swirl get`s into the intake which is baffled . swirling effect gone. before it even get`s to the combustion chamber. spend your money on a good k/n air filter

0 and 0. Tornados are a kind of "snake oil" ie: something that does nothing.
