I've said it before and I'll say it AGAIN. Turbonator/Tornado are snake oil. They DO NOTHING! It was proven by both Motor Trend and Car&Driver.

An exhaust system may actually hurt your mileage as it could possibly remove backpressure necessary for low end torque.

If you don't put on a true COLD air intake, you're hurting yourself over the stock intake.

I think the main thing that will save gas is actually letting off the gas. go 65 instead of 80[8D] It will help.
