And, let's not forget that this particular incarnation of snake oil was
invented for */carburetors/* to supposedly help atomize the gas as it
was dumped through the jets.  Didn't work then, and certainly won't work
for fuel injection systems.  A tin-foil turning vane upstream of the
throttle body will have zero effect on the airflow patterns at the point
of fuel injection.  Now about that scenic mountain property I have for
sale in Florida....
