Default Does the Toronado really work?

I see the "Toronado" advertised on ebay for the Insight and they allege an improved MPG of 31% and an increase in 35+HP. Please let me know your thoughts- thanks.

Here's the address to one:

No. Read the feedback from people who actually tried it before leaving feedback - it'll say stuff like this one: "the product was not as described in the auction, and it did not give me more mpg." People also mention poor communication.

Remember, if something seems too good to be true...

Typical snake oil sales garbage.

Bought one for the 2001 Insight and a 1989 Mustang 6cyl. No increase in performance was achieved in either car.

Save your money and buy a center console for your Insight.
