If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Don't waste your
money; it's a scam. More he

I run them on all my cars! My Passat when from 20mpg to over 300mpg! I even
use one on my 24hp Sears garden tractor but I must siphon the gas out of the
tanks because it keep filling up itself. Get the drift... it only makes one
person wealthy and it's not us!

Not a VW, but it is some actual user experiences:

I'm minded of a Garfield cartoon where he's watching TV and the announcer
says "If you buy our product, we guarantee we'll make more money than you
do."

Con artists have been pulling scams like that for decades. Don't believe the
claims. Save your money.

Popular mechanics did a review of the tornado along with a few other
"fuel savers" Most of them did nothing to improve gas mileage or
performance. One caught on fire and one made the mileage go down by
like 15%. They said not to waste your money on any of those gadgets
