Tried one on a 1987 Merc 190E and 1995 Vauxhall Chavalier 2.0CDX (with Ecotec poo engine!) and didn't notice much/any difference.

i think iirc vauxhall owners take them off as it zaps power, so you may get a little extra mpg if any at the expense of BHP

The theory behind them is good, and they may well offer some gains; I seem to recall a slight improvement in smoothness and possibly slightly extra mpg on a long run, but certainly nothing to shout about.

But then, mine were free samples so it didn't cost me anything to try them out, so mustn't grumble
