RE: Vortex Valve
the only proven thing to dramatically increase your gas mileage, is driving like an old lady.
no adapter, valve, or any other BS is going to increase your fuel economy in any significant manner.
i'm sure there'll be some ensuing arguement how IHE gives you better gas mileage, but any increase is negligible in the scope of things (yes a 3% increase is a 3% increase, but a 3% increase is 1mpg on a car that gets 30mpg)
but everyone will agree, these sort of things don't work. (i'm sure at some point, this discussion will point to mythbusters as the primary source for information proving they don't work)

Be "the man" run a test. do a dyno, before and after, and guage your gas milage honetly and see if it works. That's the only way to really know. But yeah one of these comes out every other year or so. They sell them in auto stores here in Japan but They don't seem to do well in the sales department.

i just visited the site you posted, and saw the instructions:
Make sure the engine is off. Always wear gloves when working on machinery that is not running.
lol. does that mean you SHOULDN'T wear gloves when working on a running engine?
