It's a piece of junk that will not do anything for you at all. Save your $X9.99 for gas money. . . .

Auto companies spend untold millions working to improve fuel efficiency and comply with environmental regulations. If it was really possible to achieve a 28% increase in fuel efficiency with a such a low tech cheap piece of bent metal, every car coming off the assembly line would have one.

Don't buy it.
We have discussed this "worthless" product before.

It amounts to giving them your money up front so they can delay returning it to later on once you realize you have made an error. If you don't figure out it does nothing positive then they get to keep your money. Makes them happy so they can advertise some more.

You can do just as well by driving the speed limit on cruise control.

Tornado has gotten popular over the years. I remember seeing this crap on Korean TV wayy back. The inventor of this device is Korean and it is useless. It MIGHT help w/ cars using carbureator but not in fuel injected cars.

There's always some idiot out there wanting to oil your snake.

If yours doesn't squeak, you don't need snake oil.
