    Just want to know if it actually helps increase fuel mileage at all. Looking
    at increasing mileage in my 03 Gr. Caravan.

    Easiest way to spend $50 on your vehicle with very little payback.
    Probably gets you as much as a K&N intake system.

    If it increased your mileage as much as the maker claims, the vehicle
    manufacturers would install it at the factory.

    The only 2 things it will increase is the thickness of the sellers
    wallet and your skull.

  3. Improve your mileage by lightening your foot.

    For any given engine, just about everything else is baloney (to cite a solid
    American word).

    Things that work:
    1. lower rolling resistance tires.
    2. higher air pressure (within limits)
    3. lower viscosity oil (like 5W-20)
    4. less weight (toss out the kids or the seats)
    5. slower cruising speeds (less air resistance below 60 mph.)
    6. keep the windows closed
    7. keep roof loads loaded toward the rear.
    8. only drive down hill.

    Richard.

    Downhill with the wind.

  6. Yes, agree with both contributions (Richard and Mike Behnke).

    Magnets, petrol additives and the like are in the realms of voodoo.

    I have a 1973 Caddy Coupe De Ville... I bought the Tornado for it and was
    hoping it would decrease the fuel usage.. I put it in, didn't do shit.....

    Ever since I put one in my 300M I've been getting 200 mpg. I'm also
    planning on making a $1000000 with this work at home idea I read about on
    the internet.
