Tried a couple and no gain either on the MPG front on power via a dyno test. A small gain may show up on an engine dyno, but I did not see it on the one engine I had on an engine dyno. Have read they MAY be a little more effective in very specific EFI designs, particularly those with small plenum volumes. One that I tried was on a V8 (chassis dyno), the other a large displacement inline six (on an engine dyno). They also may be more effective on the old throttle body EFI systems. Spend your money elsewhere is my advice.
