I understand the example of spinning a two liter bottle and getting it to drain faster and more smoothly than just turning it upside down... so does the Vortex Valve (http://vortexvalvenw.com/) (<--linked) really work? or is it only going to make your wallet lighter?

I think it it worked, GM and all the other car makers would be all over it.

They spend millions trying to eek out an extra tenth of a mpg...

It they could put in that part, which looks like it costs 12 cents, an get those results... I am sure they would do it.

Next comment:

I have a supercharger.

Supercharger also gets more air into the engine... just like the vegetable chopper cliams to do (oops did say that?).

My supercharger does not increase my milage... because I wind up with my foot deep into the gas a lot more often, because its fun!

They are a huge sponsor of The Fuel Show (http://www.thefuelshow.com/) <-- linked

So I hear the ads a lot and was wondering if this was better than the other snake oil products out there.

You know, it might work. I just haven't tried it.

I used to think synthetic motor oil claims were a myth... until I tried using synthetics... now I won't go back...

Even "Throttle Body Spacers" from reputable companies like www.airraid.com (http://www.airraid.com) do not work. Believe me, I've tried on my Yukon and Tundra. No difference except an annoying high pitched noise.

We can get a cool noise out of these things?

Wow... I feel faster already...

Whoooosh!

And it's such a cool name: "Vortex Valve." It'd look great as an addition in my signature line.

Another pointless PAD

Maybe I could install Vortex Valves on all my tires?

Then I could add "Quad Vortex Valvces" to my sig line....

Wow... totally mall-poser cool....
