My last tank yesterday when I filled up I netted 32.24 mpg in mixed highway and stop and go city driving. My best so far has been 33 mpg on my daily commute. Say what you will, but I'm happy with the results and to me that's all that counts.

Yea, and I've gotten the same and even bettermileage without a Tornado... Still glad you spent your money for nothing?

The basic laws of physics and thermodynamics can't be broken - the Tornado doesn't work.

I researched about this after I saw it on TV. TV ofcoarse sounded totally convincing.. but the tests online say it don't work.

I bet you have...on very flat and level terrain as you have out in the mid west, you should be able to get better mileage than on the hilly and mountainous terrain we have out here in the Northeast.

As far as spending my money for nothing ?
Yep, as I'd said, I'm happy with it. If I wasn't I would've returned it. Plain and simple.
I can drive as I like, with plenty of go pedal and not see any significant reduction in gas mileage.
Previously, I drove the same distance/commute with a Civic EX which netted me about the same gas mileage of 31-33 mpg. I'd originally purchased the Civic Ex over an Integra due to the length of my commute. I swapped out the suspension and went with Eibach Pro Kit, sway bars and Poly bushings. The GSRs, though excellent off the line were way too high revving and loud for the highway.
So considering the gain in performance and comfort with the TSX, which is rated for 29mpg highway, and prior to the install I was getting around that at 28-29, I'm very satisfied.
