Tornado "gas saver"

[91 H23 Accord]

Yea I remember those stories. Some dude with a Z71 tahoe had one in our school and he said the thing shattered lol.

like shattered in the intake???

i would rather spend that money on a tune up then stick something into my intake.

good point also but what about all the claims tornado has made an the so caled studys to prove it

Reading more up on it, you guys are right there are some phoney ones online and shit. They calaimed that the epa has tested them and have apporoved, but if you go on the EPA's site, theres nothing that has been tested, there are simialar products and they havent done shit. Also I read up about an ABC report and they were saying this place has tested it and it did nothing, and the owner was like nah it works. So idk, seems like a scam, someone brought up a good point that if it worked so well then the car manifactures would buy them also because they have to meet certain gas mile standards. I can see this working on a carburator, but not really on fuel injection.

Yep he mudded the shit out of that tahoe like every other weekend around the lake down in waco. Next thing you know he comes back the next day to school and we were like whats up with your truck he was like the POS tornado broke lol.

I watched a study on Speed channel were they tested all these so called gas savers and all of them actually lessened mpg or didn't do anything at all. The tornado or a product similiar to it was tested and actually lost mpg. There's my 2 cents

i remember reading an article in some science magazine a year or so ago about these gas saving products, it basically said save your money for the pump by not wasting it on useless products like the tornado.
