i just put it in my car 1 week ago. I drive 140 miles a day for work, usually different stops and directions, so my drive is not consistant per day. Problem is ( i may get bashed for this) i drive 73mph-80mph everywhere and my average MPG went up 3 mpg. Results have been better in larger vehicles. A friend of mine who drives an 07 Dodge ram 1500 was getting 18mpg and is now getting 23mpg which seems huge to me. I'd say its worth a shot, different engines respond different. I also have a big truck i could test on, a volvo 850 and a honda civic.

Will definately start an informative thread if results appear to be worth peoples money and time ;-)
