fuel genie, more power? Options

[motorpants]

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...

Yes, I can lump all of this stuff into one pile and call it a scam. In fact I just did.

People who tout the benefits of these BS products are either mistaken about the improvement or are intentionally trying to decieve others to make a buck. I don't know which category you fit into.

The reason people buy the tornado is because they are foolish and uninformed. The reason they don't bitch too much about it is because it wasn't that much money and their pride doesn't allow them to admit how stupid they were for buying it in the first place.

There has always beeen a scam going on and people have always bought into it.
Slick 50 was the big deal in the 80's, everyone I talked to about it was convinced it improved mileage, HP, and engine life. They were wrong on all counts.
Then split-fire spak plugs. Again, no benefit at all despite the testimonials.
Magnets on the fuel lines? Don't even go there.
People buy crap because they want to believe it works even if it doesn't. Sometimes they can even convince themselves, but they can't convince me.
