Tornado Air
I have seen these advertised and have read good things about the mileage increase. Has anyone out there installed one of these?

Save your $$$.

Figure a 5% increase with a 16 MPG starting figure and paying $1.70 a gallon for fuel.
5% of 16 = .8 MPG improvement ( your MPG may vary
)
1.70 gal / 16 MPG = .106 mile
1.70 gal / 16.8 MPG = .101 mile
$69.00 / .005 = 13,800 miles to break even.
I hope I did my math right.

Testing of a Tornado by Consumer Reports yeilded nothing but slightly less power. The Tornado actually restricted incoming air. They sure make them sound good on paper, but I think you'd be better off spending your money on a Pet Rock.
