Power Tower

I keep finding the helix Power Tower on Ebay and can't help but wonder ? Any one out there have any experience with one ? I know from experience that if it sounds to good to be true it usually is, but if this thingy is even good for an extra 1 m.p.g. seems like it would be worth the $70 bucks. Opinions ????

Pickup one of those electric superchargers to go with it.
May as well have more HP along with greater MPG.

Save your money, buy gas. We've seen many of these types and many claims. Don't believe them. If they worked, every car on the road would be sporting one.

Good enough, I might as well start saving up for that electric super charger. L.O.L. Thanks.

If all of these devices worked and increased MPG to the percentage claimed, I'd buy them all. And my mileage would improve so much, that I'd have to stop occasionally and drain the excess gas from my tank because my car would actually be manufacturing it as I drove down the road....

Just between you guys and me!

I'm gunna let you in on a little secret - my Bonneville racer I'm building will run on 2 different alternative fuels.

1. I will fill the gas tank with water - throw in 2 aspirin - then head out to 200 mph!

2. If I need extra octane - i pass out a case of corona - free - the caveat being - when you have to pee - you gotta go into the tank!!!

I'm telling you guys the truth - it's gunna be a scream! (I'm leaving in the gas tank for bakllast - on the salt - weight is good!

In the meantime I'll hide a fuel cell somewhere in the back of the car!!! Under the hatch - discuized as a??? (so I can't remember how to spell disguised - whats your point!
