The lock that keeps your spare key inaccessible from your teenager works very well. Also the anti-siphon gas cap. But I have a very effective fuel saver gadget. It's called a "tire pressure gauge." --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

On page 41 of the March/April 2008 Summit Racing Equipment catalog ( a mail-order house for those who do not know ) "The Tornado" is listed, along with several carburetor and fuel Injection applications. The ad claims.... "The Tornado is a stainless steel insert that adds spin to the incoming air to help atomize fuel better, resulting in more complete ignition. You get 7-28% better mileage plus an increase of 4-13 horsepower...." Page 327 of the same catalog, lists the "JET TPI Air Foils". The ad claims....... "JET's TPI Air Foils smooth out the air coming into the plenum. The lack of turbulence increases airflow and horsepower throughout the power band." So, if you mix the air up with a "Tornado", then smooth it out with a "Jet TPI Air Foil", will your grocery-getter win the Daytons 500? Most of these mail-order specialists tend to push one or the other. Only Summit supports both claims - which ought to tell you a lot about the claims and even more about the outfit selling this snake oil. |

There are still supply houses out there that push the fuel magnets, claiming certified lab tests that prove it increases fuel economy...Ho hum |
