Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Malibu / March 2005Opinons of this 'gizzmo'
Check out the following item listed on eBay. http://tinyurl.com/448bo Anyone used one of these? Are the claims likely to be realistic? 5-10 MPG sounds great given the number of miles I rack up each year. I'm always wary of gizmos that make all sorts of claims, but still have an open mind and would appreciate any comments from forum readers.

Recently, a version was advertised on a reputable clear-channel station here and they cite some studies of these high figures and EPA approval and such. The ads have been removed now.

I'll give you the benefit and assume your former craft used another fuel besides gasoline. > Either you just got off the boat or mother ship from another planet or > you have very limited mental capacity.

What would one expect with a name like Al Bundy? How is Meg? JP SignatureJP White mailto:jpwhite3@bellsouth.net ...Meg? His wife's name is Peg......... Peggy.... But anyway.. that's a replica of "Tornado Fuel Saver". I fell for the marketing hype & bought one off eBay (tornado fuel saver brand too)....... what a waste of $$ to be honest. 0 mpg increase. 0 hp increase. 0 tq increase. Don't waste your money....... or do.. but you were warned. -Mike -- A happy kid behind the wheel of a 98 Mustang GT Cold air intake FRPP 3.73 gears Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers (self-installed woohoo) Hi-speed fan switch 255/60R-15 rear tires Subframe connectors Aluminum adjustable clutch quadrant > > Either you just got off the boat or mother ship from another planet or > > you have very limited mental capacity.
