I am not saying those things work, but what they claim is that it makes the molecules repel each other thus vaporizing the fuel better. Most of those gas saving devices say to install them and then advance the timing 2 degrees. If you throw the device in the trash and advance the timing you probably get the same result.

ACtually, The devices you install in the air cleaners work alitle bit. we installed them in a couple of new cars, and noticed better MPG and alittle power. We bought the Tornado version.

they have a little credability, apparently the fuel is seperated and can ionise better and mixes with the air better and hence reacts better to the spark. the tonrado device seems better it just rush the air down the carby like a tornado and mixtures the fuel and air furiously, sounds like it would work

You can take all the testimonials that claim improved gas mileage with less than a grain of salt.

People who buy and install these things almost always end up driving in a more fuel-efficient manner - and then give the credit to whatever gizmo they spent their money on.

There is no reliable evidence that any of these things increase anything other than somebody else's bank account.

if it is true then it would remove the cleaners and gunk from the gas your fuel lines would clug up fast

Clug? If you go into an auto supply place and look at the snake oil shelf, you will read about and see a myriad of products that are supposed to make your car run better or use less oil. If you buy any of those products, you are a fool. This has snake oil written all over it.

As soon as you purchase this I have some wonderful land here in central Florida that I would love to sell you. It has lovely views of wetlands in all 4 directions.

On a serious note, I have read many articles about how these "gas mileage extenders" make all of these claims and without exception none of them worked as claimed if at all.
