Device Claims to Improve Fuel Efficiency Up to 24 Percent

19 June 2000

Some Help is Needed as Gas Prices Top Record; Up 52 Cents a Gallon From a Year Ago

    SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif. - According to the recent article in Business Fleet Magazine -- Aftermarket add-ons which purport to increase vehicle performance and fuel efficiency are best approached with caution, but the TORNADO Air Management System has many backers.

    Jeff Brooks, host of the nationally syndicated radio show "On the Road with Jeff Brooks," said his 1970 Dodge Super Bee went from 10 miles per gallon to 13 mpg after installing the TORNADO. Sam Memmolo, host of "Shade Tree Mechanic" on TNN, also recommends the device.

    And Ron Bell, professor of automotive technology at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, Calif., said his tests over a period of years support the manufacturer's claims. "The bottom line is, this thing works," Bell told Business Fleet.

    The TORNADO is a unique, non-moving turbine-shaped automotive device that creates a swirling motion in the air intake systems of automobile engines. It swiftly moves air around twists and bends, enhancing fuel atomization and improving efficiency and performance. In tests performed by an EPA-recognized emissions lab, the swirling effect of the TORNADO has been shown to improve gas mileage by as much as 24 percent.

    The TORNADO is priced at $69.98, and has a 30-day money back guarantee and limited lifetime warranty. According to company founder Jay Kim, the device installs in about five minutes and requires no maintenance.

    Corporate and government users of the TORNADO include the City of Norwalk, City of El Monte, the Boise Police Dept., SEARS Auto Book, JC Whitney and Camping World.
