More Power-Better Gas Mileage ??!!

Remove this ad
I was looking through some Ebay stuff and came across this. Is this a load of crap? Has anyone ever tried it? The ad says 30% better MPG and 15% more power.

Okay, let's see: "Sounds too good to be true." Passed THAT test.

Any need to go forward? To know more? Understand the laws of physics? NOPE!

Does it have the "John Edward" impramatur? No doubt!

Your Uncle Pete will get your extra mileage in his afterlife long before you do in this one!

Regards,
Warren

At least no one has been suckered in yet. There are 0 bids.

The seller needs to edit his ad. There are several punctuation mistakes, typos etc.

Re: More Power-Better Gas Mileage Cadillac Deville/Seville

Yeah, its a load of crap alright. Although the airflow in the typical intake of any stock automobile is far from laminar, the introduction of ANY object into the airstream will hinder, not help, the air going to the throttle body. Suddenly taking a striaght flow of air and adding a twist as these "vortex generators" do requires a sudden change of inertia in the airflow which causes drag, not to mention the additional drag created by the parasitic boundry turbulence clinging to the static vanes of this contraption. And wherever you introduce drag, you can safely assume that you have reduced airflow. Rest assured that this device will REDUCE horsepower and gas mileage.
