bought this vortex plastic gizmo for my truck - I'll save 100Kms per tank (60miles?) on a 2000 Xterra and it do notice I have more jam at the pedal - but the guy discovered the fuel savings thing as a side line to finding more power for a carbed corvette dragster
this 10 cents worth of plastic (mine was $80 Canadian) sits in the air intake between the filter and top end of the motor - but the bloddy thing works - I'll get my money back in 3 fillups I have PMO's on an early 911 and I am thinking about buying 6 of these things anyway more of a comment than anything - with the price of gas these days... josh |

Automobile companies spend billions on R&D. If there was a 10 cent piece of plastic that could suddenly increase mileage and/or increase performance, they would be all over it.

20 years ago there was a device that had 'data' plastered all over it showing the
tons of trials where whole fleets got 20-40% better mileage with it. Of course the data looked real, except that it wasn't done scientifically. Specifically, they were not a double-blind tests. So, the effect they measured was not the device at all, but instead all the drivers' paying attention to their driving habits that contribute to better fuel mileage. |
