Tornado Fuel Saver??

Has anyone tried any of these products that are supposed to increase mpg by sucking in more air? I was just wondering if they work, it all sounds good in theory but performance is different.

Don't waste your $$$. Actually, considering that today's cars have computers to monitor the air-fuel mixture, introducing more air may reduce your MPG because it will take more fuel to achieve the same mixture.

Yup... It's all a bunch of poppycock. In fact, there was just something about these fly-by-night fuel savers on the news here in Boston. They didn't specifically test this Tornado, but all the junk they did test was all bunk.

These things are nothing but junk. Don't buy into the infomercials claims on them.
