I was told about a tornado that you can install on your truck to increase mpg. Has anyone one used one and do they work?

Yes sir they work very well

Welcome to the V10 Forum on FTE

You have a V10?

If you get a Tornado it will do exactly what the advertisers claim... by reducing your wallet weight by .015 lbs the HP to weight ratio of your truck will increase by .003% and thus over then next 250,000 miles you will have a net gain of .0005 horse power and .00097mpg greater fuel effeciency.


Snake oil my man, if they were worth half of what they claim Ford would install them in every vehicle.

I can save you the same amount of gas for half the money.

Send me half the money and I won't send you anything. You'll have the same gains as with the Tornado (zero) and you'll only be out half of the money.

If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is. If it worked I'd definately install 'em in my Kenworth too.
