The Tornado Fuel Saver is a device that "spins" the air into the engine, supposedly increasing fuel mileage. Here's a link to one site that's still selling them: Tornado Fuel Saver (http://store.yahoo.com/rodi/torfuelsav1.html)

Here's some feedback on it at urateit.com: Review Summary of Tornado Fuel Saver (http://www.urateit.com/showreview.asp?id=173)

A review on the Tornado and a magnet based mileage improver: Do Gas Mileage Improvers Really Work (http://www.wcpo.com/wcpo/localshows/dontwasteyourmoney/917ff5.html)


While the [EPA] has not tested the Tornado itself, the company has provided test data to the agency, and the EPA has tested devices using similar technology.

The agency said none of the devices improved gas mileage, and that based on what it has seen of the Tornado's data, it has no reason to feel that product is an exception, the EPA's Grundler said.

As one mechanic put it: Use the money for a tuneup. You'll get better results.

What about on a band new car?? a tune up will be useless...
right?
And does it realy increase it HP to like 20-30!?
Even tho you said it was sH
it

[DIFF_LOCK_CR-V_AWD]

So big ?: should i buy some tornado thing???????
If not Y?
And if yes Y?

[DIFF_LOCK_CR-V_AWD]

that jone guy is very dis cuaraging if you no what i mean so after reading that i am going with NO NO and NO!

[Racoon]

Did you read the links I posted? They don't do anything except take money out of your pocket and put it in the sellers pocket.

If you really need one, send me $70 and I'll send you a sticker for your window that says "TurboPowered" and is guaranteed to increase your fuel mileage and HP by 50%. I'll even make you one whatever color you want so it matches your CR-V.

NO...because it does not work!

The answer is NO.

These things do not work. PERIOD.

Some MIGHT improve performance in one area or under one set of conditions but usually with even greater looses elsewhere.

If performance gains were posible without compromise then teh Manufacturer would do it.

[DIFF_LOCK_CR-V_AWD]

NJ what do you drive? did you mod it in any way?
And no i dont got a Diff lock but still looking :)

[daogre]

my friend bought a similar device, the tornado, and definately got a lot of gains in the noise dept, but his mpg also went down and it took longer longer to get car up to 60. let me say that again. longer you definately dont want to buy this device.

at least it doesnt have hand sketched instructions like the last tornado-like device i saw.

ps. after 5 years on several car forums, i have never heard of anyone that bought this and was happy. never.

[DIFF_LOCK_CR-V_AWD]

maybe its for like old ass cars with carborators...

When hypercrv got cotm he talked a bout some vector thing and i think it was stock and it does the same thing...
