Hoax or milagrous gas economy and perform engine.

Hi all,
Visiting some parts in EBay, I read this, somebody test it, it sems me too beautiful to be ttruth. What do you think about it ?

I quote:
The Mileage Maxx Vortex Generator is much less expensive than any turbocharger or supercharger. Its proven design increases horsepower while lowering fuel costs, and is backed with a 30-day money back guarantee AND a lifetime guarantee.

Better Gas Mileage: The Mileage Maxx allows your engine to burn fuel more efficiently, resulting in mileage gains as high as 31%. With gas prices constantly on the rise, it will pay for itself in no time.
More Power: Whether you have a stock or aftermarket air intake system, you will see a power increase of up to 35 horsepower.

Superior Quality: The Mileage Maxx is made of precision CNC machined AIRCRAFT GRADE ALUMINIUM - NOT HAND MADE like others on Ebay, and is backed by a lifetime warranty. This is the highest quality vortex generator available on Ebay!! It is guaranteed to outlast your car. The Mileage Maxx's fins are engineered to improve engine combustion without restricting the airflow. Because the fins do not obstruct the middle of the intake pipe, air is allowed to flow freely into the engine. This results in improved performance and takes away any stress on the fins themselves.

30-Day Money Back Guarantee: The number of satisfied customers using our product is growing day by day! Try it for 30 days, and if you are not 100% satisfied, you can return it with no questions asked. Get more horsepower and better fuel economy or your money back.
Lifetime Guarantee: The Mileage Maxx has a lifetime guarantee, and is transferable between vehicles. It WILL outlast your car!!
What is the Mileage Maxx?

What is the Mileage Maxx?: The Mileage Maxx is a stationary vortex generator that fits inside your air intake tube.
How it works: The Mileage Maxx produces a vortex, effect in the combustion chamber of your engine. This allows for better atomization of your fuel, resulting in more complete combustion of the available fuel.

By enhancing fuel atomization, the Mileage Maxx increases horsepower and fuel economy. Lab tests conducted by the EPA on non-moving vortex generators showed results as high as 20 horsepower and 24% increases in mileage. Other independent studies yielded results as high as 35 HP and 31% MPG. Although results varied from vehicle to vehicle, there were gains across the board, and considering the price, ease of install, and maintenance free operation, the Mileage Maxx is a worthwhile investment.

All feed backs are welcomed...!!!! Thanks

yeah, usually just some piece of metal cut to look like an orange juicer.

If this thing really worked that well, it would already be on a car.

Sure it works - you get better fuel economy because your wallet is now lighter.

Welcome KimFJ,

They have been for sale here in the USA under at least one brand name (Tornado), maybe more for many years and they have been proven over and over again to provide virtually no benefit to modern fuel injected engines. Save your hard earned money for something else.

It's a little fin device that goes inside the intake and spins the air if i believe.
