Fuel Saver

[bigbluemonkey502]

WARNING!!!
do not buy the tornado fuel savers or any knock off brand.
i recently tested one to see how they did.

with the fuel saver installed i got an average of 19.2 mpg
without it installed i get an average of 21.6 mpg

THEY HURT YOUR MILEAGE! DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY





just thought id give you a heads up..

[ghettosled]

oh man, i installed 3 in tandem!

seriously, all of these things are gimmicks.

[Darchrow Enigma]

you said "average" what kind of testing did you do to come up with these figures?

All these fuel saver things are gimmicks..

Just learn to not drive so aggressively, that's the best fuel saver in itself.

[Gothmog3VZ]

it's common sense; why would you expect better mileage from something that blocks your intake?
it's as brilliant of an idea as dumping more fuel into your cylinders to boost power

[Darchrow Enigma]

it's not really common sense, because the tornado concept adding velocity to airflow makes just as much sense, but as to whether it is actually affective is the debate. or rather, now a consensus that it does not work.

[iovaykind]

Gothmog3vz is right, its simple blocking airflow.. which is going to hurt MPG and power. The only thing that'll add airflow is turbo and that has to be done the right way. There's a video on youtube somewhere where a guy only got 5hp dynoed because he used a leafblower into his intake haha in other words, it takes a lot of extra airflow to give the engine any extra power or fuel savings

lol you get 21.6 average? I'm getting 25 average with A/C and a V6 and without any fuel saving crap. Just learn how to drive non-aggressively..

I drive with my big foot down a lot. I accelerate way too heavily and drive like my camry is...well, not a camry. Even I get 25 mpg with mostly in town driving. My dad hooked up a leaf blower into the intake on his ranger once. It actually bogged the truck down due to the amp draw on the alternator haha

[iovaykind]

^ Haha, the video I was talking about wasn't a leafblower hooked up to the car.. it was actually a guy holding the leafblower into the intake hose so the power was drained from an outlet, not the car.
