Quick everyone, go get them before they're all gone! I wonder how many people saw that and rushed out to their mechanic? lol

Wait....a device that impedes the natural flow of air will increase the speed? What am I missing here? Oh wait, the mechanic said it, so it must be true.....

They tested it for 3 miles. 1 cup of fuel. Weak. "The dyno doesn't lie!" Any variability in the acceleration of the jeep on the dyno from run to run will cause huge changes is the results because of the tiny length of time that it was tested for. Show me sustained results from months of testing and thousands of miles under varying conditions and I may start to believe it.

Worst part is, that most of the dumbasses that watch that show will believe it, and they will all rush out and buy one.

I'm sold, who wants to go in on a Group purchase!! Actually I have something to confess...3 years ago before I knew any better I actually did buy one for my truck. Didn't see any difference in fuel mileage. But now that I've seen this video I think it will actually work this time!!

It would be worth more than its weight in gold if it gained .3 tenths of mile every 2.7 miles The oil companys would buy anything thing that would offer that kind of a gain. Bs

Does my turbo do the same thing as a tornado?

Well let's just say the guy who invented turbos (Mr. Turbo) used to work at the tornado plant and was fired for stealing design blueprints!! I think the turbo is a knock off of the tornado...

Too many factors, not enough testing...don't you wish it was that easy.
