Save Gas Velocity Turner - Has anyone tried it?

Hi,

I see auctions on eBay and other website about this Velocity Turner that you simply install between the air filter box and the throttle body and instantly you have better gas mileage and HP.

You can read more information from the eBay auction at the Item number: 330099217719. It states that it works for BMW X5s.

Has anyone heard of this before? Does it really work? Has anyone bought it and used it? It only cost 10 bucks. Thanks for any feedback......Jimmy

I'd beware of anything that costs $10 that claims to save any amount of gas. Not just going by the cost, but I have a co-worker that has tried one, and noticed no difference ...

Those things are excellent - I'd recommend getting 2 or 3 and perhaps you won't need to go to the gas station more than monthly! BMW engineers really missed the boat on this one!








Just being facetious - don't waste your time and $$ on that crap.

It's gotta work if it's being sold on eBay.

Well,
I'm a brand new member to this forum and I thought I would get good informational feedback.....but what do I get instead...... a bunch of yahoos trying to be funny.

I am sure more witty comments will follow this post on how "You asked for it" or "You should not have asked" This forum is a class act....you guys rule.

Thanks for nothing www.xoutpost.com
