On a similar note, I've used a device called a vitalizer with varying degrees of success (depends on car & installation). This device is inserted in the fuel line, and places a charge on the fuel before being atomized by the injectors / carb. When the fuel gets atomized, the like charge causes the fuel to repell thus getting more power, better fuel economy and maintaining a cleaner engine. The best results I got to date was on a Jeep Cherokee --- Std MPG was 17 MPG before the vitalizer, and 21 MPG after. These were very consistant numbers over several years. For some reason techroline in Chevron gas would not allow the fuel to take the charge so I always dropped back to 17MPG when using that gas. The bad news is, the company sold the patents and stopped selling the product. Luckily I bought three of them and am contemplating placing two of them on my 750iL to see how it works. I have heard that some state police departments are using these on their fleets.

Has anyone on this board try the Tornado and did it work as they say it would? (should save you gas.)
