hey, i was just wondering if the tornado really works? cause my car ain't doing so well, i'm just having 15mpg maybe less or is it just my intake? my friend said there was something wrong with my tuning? or should i just put in back my stock intake and see how it goes? my car drinks gas like it was nothing!!!! or is it because i'm using high supreme gas? just need some info thanx

 

Check your tire pressure...you never know

 

aites i'll check them today, any other things that might affect the mpg?

 

1.) Don't floor it at every stoplight. That is probably why your mpg's are so low
2.) Those Tornado Air things have been tested on here b4 and they're just a gimmick. They don't work and actually end up making you lose hp on your mid-top end
3.) Try changing your plugs, oil, wires, distributor cap. 99% of all mpg problems are because the car is in need of a simple tuneup.

 

could be a lot of things

however, to answer your question about the tornado: no it doesn't work, but it certainly won't harm your car. but it IS a waste of cash.

 

Oh no i don't floor it no more , yea i'm planning to buy the denso iridiums ik16 and change the spark plug wires as well, and yea gonna change the oil soon. hopefully my mpg will be better thanx

save yourself some money and just get some NGKs.

 

use octane your car manual recommends.

 

i found using higher octane actually helped MPG on my friends corrolla...

he was consitanlty getting more km's outta a single tank then he was with regular..

as if he produced more power at less revs and therefore burned less gas

 

ok i can answer this one. Tornado Does not Work!!!!
i've bought it for my si about a year ago because i do a lot of highway driving. i got the same mpg without it. i spent $60 on pos gimmick.
just save yourself some money and not buy it.
another suggestion i have is to be easy on the gas pedal when you accelerate and keep your speed steady.
i get about 290miles on full tank going around 70 mph.
i repeat guys, that **** does not work.

 

Maybe you have a bad oxygen sensor. That will cause crappy gas mileage.
