Some previous TFS threadshttp://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=3471http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=4701http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=8560Quote, originally posted by dkim1 »is anyone using a tornado fuel saver or vortex air flow unit in their vibe.If anyone has installed one of these in a Vibe, there haven't been any reports of data to show effect on mileage. If you do put one in, then keep and post good records of gas usage, and also watch for any change in driving habits that could result in fuel savings. I figure if they did work as advertised, manufacturers would make something like that part of the stock intake design.

Installed one yesterday. Feels a little peppier on the throttle (could be my imagination) but have only put on about ten miles. A friend put one in her Honda and her mileage increased 3-3.5 mpg.
