I have an 03 with 82000 mi. Use a K + N filter.

Tried the Tornado. When going back and forth to Prescott Valley (700+ miles RT)it made no difference in fuel economy compared to the previous trips. If the Sorento had a fuel injected TB the the tornado might work but since the TB is for air metering only and the injectors are at the intake it really should have no affect on the mixture.(IMHO). The intown MPG is 15 to 17 and the open highway MPG is around 20 to 22. The best i've ever got was 25. That was tires inflated and the wife was driving. Her driving style is a little different than mine.
