I'm thinking of trying one of the turbonator or tornado fuel saver devices.
I was woundering if anyone else has tried one of these items?  Thanks to all
that can help.

Come on, think about it.   If you accually got better milage with it, the
Auto Manufactures would be jumping at it.
It's one of many of these Incress Miles scams to get money from you.  They
seem to work in the since that people keep buying this crap.

I tried one of the Tornado devices on my '94 Suburban (5.7 liter).  I gave
it the benefit of the doubt and kept it on for awhile.  Honestly, I did not
see any improvements whatsoever with it.  In the round file she went!

Take the money you'd spend on the "scam-o-nator" and spend it towards a tune
up.

Save your money.  Those things are useless and do not do anything.

If you want to increase gas mileage, get a Geo Metro. ;-)

You'll do a little better with a Honda Civic.  I get between 50 to 54.
I would wait on the hybrids a little while.

Well... it was a joke.  My personal choice for mileage is a diesel VW.

I will never own a hybrid car, Electric car or anything of that
nature.  Hell I won't even own an electric weed-whacker.

I don't think those things work, honestly...

I was able to go from an average of 16mpg, to an average of 20, and as high
as 22mpg, in my 2004 6.0L 1500.

The mods that did it:  
- a good low resistance plug wires (MSD 8.5's),
- a free flowing exhaust (or just a muffler), (B&B "Triflow" cat-back)
- a drop-in cotton-gauze air filter, (AFE)
- electric fans. (Flex-a-Lite 282's)
