What is it made from?
It is a MATCHED PAIR of tuned custom sealed Neodymium Super inductors that generate a frequency resonance between its two faces.

What makes the FUEL SAVER unique?
Operates on the principle of RESONANCE, utilizing a double chamber frequency with phased frequency modulation.
Uh huh...and maybe monkeys will fly out of my...

I have a better idea. I just put stickers on my Civic, and got a 50 HP increase!

will y'all quit bitching out there ? LOL I'm paying the equivalent of $ 3.75 a gallon and so is everyone else out here (here being Switzerland, but most of Europe is about the same)

besides bitching about it (which is a fundamental right, of course) I drive a fuel efficient car thats gets me 48 mpg - so thats helps, but $ 1.50 gas would help a lot more !

It's not our fault that European governments are taxing you guys into the poor house on your fuels. You guys voted those governments into office. :p You Europeans basically chose to have terrible fuel prices and then you guys turn around and complain that you have it worse than we do.

It's 1.74/gallon for Regular 87 octane here.. It's gone down a few cents in the last week..

and yeah, that thing is a crock of shit..

The Tornado should show some improvement, but mostly on a carbureted engine..

Of really poor design, I might add. :p

Nope. Vortex is only useful in a closed system. The reason that a vortex works in the system of two pop bottles is because the air is being displaced from the lower bottle. Without the vortex effect, the air has to break through the water when the pressure increases to a certain point. With vortex flow, there is a "hole" in the flowing water which allows the displaced air to easily travel in the opposite direction of the water, hence a better flow rate. In an automotive intake, everything is flowing in the same direction and there is no need to accomodate backflow.

Besides, even if it did help (which is doesn't) the vortex flow would be disrupted as soon as the intake air got to the carburator's throttle butterfly. Heck, the turbulance caused by the vortex hitting the throttle butterfly might even cause a detracting effect.

As much as I feel for you, Americans, on average, drive around 4 times more than most other countries. :)

That's because we have more area to travel to and much better road system.
