"TORNADO" in the air intake "to try or not to try"
 
has anyone tried the "TORNADO" thing that goes in the intake hose and
"swirls the air for better fuel milage and more horsepower" i want to try
it, since i'm getting about 13 mpg, and gas prices are supposed to get up
to $3.25 by the end of summer.

The 'snake oil' folks are going to have a field day this summer! LOL!

If something like that worked, any of them, the makers would for sure
have them in place from the factory.

I have a 455 Buick engine in the Jeepster, so I had to do something about
the mileage. I have one of those whirlygigs, the whole fuel line covered in
magnets, a ramscoop, fuel pressure regulator, coil transformer, wing, bug
deflector, net tailgate, slick 50, prolong, teflon oil filter, synthetic oil
in all the gear boxes, helium filled tires, Mequires 'racing wax' over
primer, and splitfire plugs. Boy, what a mistake! I drain the tank, and can
only go 50 miles or so before I have to drain it again.
Most of this junk has been around since the teens; if it worked,
manufacturers would use it.

Your stereo probably has the dual-gauge Monster speaker cables too...

light gauge for the highs, and heavy for the lows...
