Is that the Vornado or the Vortex. You would be better off getting a Helix Power Tower. It has more effect than that thing. That will actually restrict flow rather than smooth it out. Save your money, get a helix.Purely joking with this:Or, buy that thing, then get a ZMax power system to add to your fuel and oil and stuff, and you should be all set.

I would save your money all-together and just drive more sensibly, make sure that your tires are the correct pressure and don't carry excess stuff in your car that could add weight to the car and make the engine work harder. All of the "fuel saving" devices have been tested and have seen a marginal fuel savings. In other words, they are not worth the time installing them and the money you spend on it. This is just MHO.

Those gadgets don't work, according to both Consumers Report and the TV show Motorweek. If they did, the manufacturers would be using them to help reach government mandated milleage increases.

Oh not this thing again. In one word...NO. In fact, it will probably hurt your gas mileage. There is no "magic pill" for getting better gas mileage. MRVIBE said it best....the only way to get better fuel economy is to change your driving habits.

SNAKE OIL

Some people don't know till they ask.At least you asked. Knowledge is power and consider what was mentioned here a good piece of knowledge to have. One more thing those hard wired "gas savers" or "power boosters" sold on Ebay are also CRAP. If you were to open up the box the wires just connect to each other, covered with electronic plastic so you can't see the splices.

im with NUblackshirts..cant see a piece of metal thats all cut up then put into ur intake, gonna makethe car have better gas milage..only way is driving habits, maybe certain gas like E85 ethonal(not sure if our cars can take that stuff??) and maybe engine oils that work better with the car and wont make the car work as hard as it does..correct me if im wrong about any of that

Looks like a "Transformer" to me.

It isn't too good of a choice for optimum fuel efficiency anyway, you'll never match what you can get on regular gas... E85 will always bring in lower numbers. I have heard that an oil such as 5W20 may give better fuel economy than the 5W30... Can't recall if anyone here who has tried it in the Vibe has had mileage improvements though.Driving style is definitely the thing to modify, no need for any of these "magical" devices. It's like that with any car, watch what you're doing and you'll be amazed. I see person after person with the same car I have now complaining about 20-something MPG highway but they also admit to running the hell out of the car. Meanwhile, I get mid to upper 30's out of mine by taking it easy. They're like "hey, how'd you do that?"

I've been finding i've been getting much better gas mileage on Premium, and for 3$ extra a fill up, who cares..
