This devise will extract $45 from your wallet in exchange for a Thank You from the seller. You will save fuel by not having the $45 to buy gas with.

New and improved, eh? So which is it? New? Or an Improved version? how can you improve something that's new?

Other than a good laugh, it won't do much at all.

Maybe it should read:

'New and blows' -or- 'Improved and still blows'?

Turbonator, Cyclone, Tornado. whatever. Same crap, different box.

Where are the magnetic thingies for your fuel pump when you need it? Or the electric "turbochargers" that blew at about 1/3 of the rate of a hair dryer into the intake.

I bought one of those gadgets in 1959 from J.C. Whitney or some similar place. It didn't make a hot rod out of my straight 8 Buick. We all gotta' learn sometime. But the clothes pins on the fuel line helped with vapor lock. Very Happy
