Yea...I put on a bunch of gas savings devices and it saved so much gas that I had to drain two gallons from the tank every night so it would not spill out..........A sucker born every minute.....
Hey, take it or leave it. You don't have to believe me. Like I said. I had one in my PT, but after I installed my J.R. supercharger I had to remove it because it pulls in the air, in the oposite direction. Can't have 2 devices making airflow in counter and counter-clockwise directions. Hope this helps.

Every time I see one of these type of things I think, If it was so easy to increase power and MPG the car companies would be using it.

Our local news channel did a piece on these gas saving things last year. The took three different city trucks, all the same configurations and driving routes, and put a different device on each of them. One was the twirly air thing, another was a magnet on the fuel line, and the other was a gas additive that produced more oxygen in the gas mixture.

They had before and after data to show any change...darn if the only one that did something was the magnet. GO figure. However it was an increase of less than 5% over three tanks of gas. I remember them reporting that you had to drive over 25000 miles per year to pay for the thing.

When I want better gas mileage I slow down and touch lightly on the gas peddle.

Uh, sorry about the (lol) serious debate generated on this post, I thought it would be obvious to all this thing is a joke. On the serious side, scientists have discovered that you can increase MPG by planning your trips in such a manner that you maximize your path to coincide with the spin of the earth.
