The filters allow more air flow, so we should have leaner mix, so should get better milage. But all engines are electronic these days, and set the fuel mix.

The Tornado would do the opposite of the filter, slow airflow down, so it should make milage worse. Or else, if it works, then the filters should be making the milage worse....

They come at things from opposite ends, and shouldn't work at all together, if either one works to begin with.

what happens, is people install these things - and the magnets I mentioned - and then drive better, because in their head they are wondering if they can get better milage.....

Well, gee, when thinking about it allt he time, you do get better milage. Cut your burnouts in 1/2, shut off the engine when you leave the vehicle, keep it under 70mph, and so on..... ;)

So, milage goes up. But it isn't the device itself. It's making the brain work.

So I believe you - your milage went up.

You coulda put a clothespin on your rear view mirror, and every time you see the pin you'd think to drive sensible, and that clothes pin also woulda increased your milage.....

Maintain the vehicle, and the biggest thing for better milage is fixing the driver's head, not adding stuff to the vehicle. :)

Today's Featured Article - The Rescue of a Fordson F - by Anthony West. Introduction I live in the UK and have for many years restored Fordson tractors (in the main model N's). I have also restored and shown model F's, E 27N's, Field Marshall Series 2, David Brown Cropmasters and the old rey Fergeson T 20. At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p ... [Read Article]
