tornado, fuel magnet K&N filter Gas savers?

I'm fixin to go on a long trip and I'm wanting to do all I can to improve gas mileage. Anybody got gripes or praise for the Tornado, fuel magnet, or K&N filter? Which is better for the money or what about all 3?

To save fuel, don't forget the tire pressures. I raise mine to about 34psi all around when I go on long trips. It makes a difference. To avoid uneven tread wear, make sure you do plenty of hard cornering too. ;-) I've also noticed that using the cruise control helps alot too. I dunno about the first two, but I've heard nothing but good things about K&N.

Stay way from the tornado...if anything, it'll probably cause you to loose mileage because of the turbulence it can cause in the air. Never heard of the fuel magnet. K&N filters are great....only problem is, they usually free up some power.....which tends to cause the driver to be more of a lead foot....which doesn't always help with mileage. But in normal driving, you should see a little gain. Plus the filter is reusable.
