Saw a show where they busted one of quack devices. It was either the tornado one or the fuel magnet, I forget which.
They put a toyota or something like that on a chassis dyno started it up and ran it showing fuel consumption, power etc. Then they put the doo-hickey on there in about 10 minutes and ran again showing mileage increase etc.
Well what happened is when they ran it the first time, the motor was cold and was running on the cold start cycle, running richer. After test 1 and the soak time while they installed the doo-hickey, the car was warmed up enough to run in the normal warmed up cycle. So of course it used less fuel. They don't tell you that in the ad but they busted them on this show!
I've seen people do basically the same thing vis-a vi a race engine on a dyno by not duplicating all factors (temps, air density, oil temp, etc.) during a dyno run. You can sure be misled.
