Really? What a surprise. And by a surprise I mean that I am
surprised that anyone would have to buy one to figure this out.

I guess when you're paying over $3 a gal for go-juice you'll try
anything. Remember the one where you lay magnets along your fuel line
for better MPG?

Is the vortex the same as the "Tornado"?

Yep the vortex, Tornado, or any hokey device that you simply stick in yer
intake pipe that makes crazy claims of extra mpg or hp is pure bunk.
btw - years ago, I found the ultimate device which is guaranteed to keep
your mpg up but does have the drawback of less useable hp with it installed.
It's called the "Wife 'o Matic 2000" and it works like this:
Say you are driving down the road and some annoying dork in a Honduh with
and oversize fartcan pulls up next to you. If your RPM gets too high as you
step on the accelerator and pass the annoying dork, the Wife 'o Matic 2000
automatically kicks in with an audible alert warning you to slow down.
The Wife 'o Matic 2000 requires no modification, bolts or wiring. Simply
place the Wife 'o Matic 2000 on the driver's seat and installation is
complete! We guarantee you will notice the gain in your mpg immediately!
Sorry, no COD, no money back returns, all sales are final.
The Wife 'o Matic 2000 alerts you in three modes:
Audible warning - some sounds included: Slow Down, Why do you always do
that?, Your going to get a ticket, I hate when you drive and more.
Visual display - the Wife 'o Matic 2000 points toward your dashboard
Slapping mode - alerts you with a brisk slap on the arm
Silent mode (aka City mode) - Special "Silent Treatment" Stealth Technology
Sigh mode (aka Quiet mode) - emits a warning sigh and invokes the Silent
mode
Order now, and we will upgrade your Wife 'o Matic 2000 model with the New
Improved Slapping Mode Feature! Along with the audible warning, your Wife 'o
Matic 2000 will also alert you with a brisk slap on the arm. Never miss
another Wife 'o Matic 2000 alert because of a loud radio again!

The cheapest and most effective mileage enhancer is a block of wood
under the gas pedal. Seriously.
People forget - fuel burn is like 98-99% on modern engines, and it's
getting better because better burn = less HCs.

Sure, you may enjoy savings of higher MPG that a Wife 'o Matic 2000 gives
you, but I've heard that the maintenance costs for that option alone make it
not worth the benefit. :)

Oh yes, they're all crap. When we had carburetors they had all kinds of
scams around them. They need to be more creative today.

Popular mechanics had an article on these 'savers'
http://www.popularmechanics.com/automotive/auto_technology/1 802932.html
I think that none of the equipment tested improved the mileage and in fact
made it worse and lost engine power.
