Tornado Fuel Saver fuel saving device
It seems to make sense to me.
But hey what do I know.

Seriously, save your money.
Its not going to atomize your fuel any better anyhow. You have port injection, your atomization is done with injectors, by the time your tornadoed air gets to the mixing part, its no longer a tornado anyhow. It sounds like a good deal, and maybe with a carb it would be somewhat believable, but with FI, its junk. I know a few folks who tried it and none have seen results. This kind of gimmick works on the psyche and statistics. Everytime you check your fuel mileage, there is a 50% chance it will be BETTER than it was the last time, if it is, then you are compelled to believe it worked. If not, hey, the guy next to you is a believer and he keeps his and you send yours back....either way, they make money on 50% of everyone almost.

Please do a search here on the tornado.
it is snake oil in my opinion. think about it, it swirls the air but then what happens once the spinning air hits the throttle body throttle plate? or what happens to the swirling air if it happens to get past the throttle plate when it hits the back side of a closed intake valve?
save your money.
