If it really worked don’t you think all the big car makers would use it to get the feds off their ass…….Yes it makes a vortex,but does not noticeably save gas.

Well if you are planning on saving $ $ in the long run and also keeping the vehicle for a while, drop a turbocharger in it. Most people think they are just for more power, well yes if u are running on high boost, but a turbo charger with no/low boost saves a ton of gas(turbine creates a vortex and atomizes the air)
Yes Vortex is just the same with all saving devices known as “Air-Bleed” device. The same with Enviroteck (FVR) super device. This all depends on the engine make that sometimes it is not so much effective as expected. Nothing is perfect yet these are signs of progress
Just a gimmick, if it worked worth a darn all cars would come with one, yeah it may save you a few cents, but proper maintenance saves LOTS more.
tried this on a car and a truck didn’t help at all what a waste of money. if you are looking for some thing to help get a K & N air filter.
Those “crutches” do not work, your vehicle is designed to work as it is designed.
Your vehicle has sensors and control units to control fuel and timing automatically. There is nothing you can do to the vehicle that will make it use less fuel except drive less aggressively easy on the acceleration and decelleration slow and steady it may take you longer to get up to speed but you will save fuel by driving more carefull and drive at the speed limit steady speed not up and down will help so much.
If th Check engine light is on you have a condition that affects emissions not a tune up ,oil change or anyting like that you need a professional tech with an OBDII scan tool to diagnose and repair those cars.
So Im telling you do not believe the hype leave it stock and change the fuel filter every 15-20,000 miles and oil about every 10,000 miles but always check your oil to make sure you have enough.
If it were so great why would you need a slick infomercial to sell it?
