I's junk I was going to get one for my 97 and the guy at the parts store said that they were garbage. I don't know who would want to spen $50 for something that gives you a couple mpg. It's better as a paper weight.

IF it did give a couple MPG increase in my truck...I would pay $50 for it.

2 MPG x a 24 gallon tank = 48 miles extra per tank

My truck gets about 15mpg on a good day.

48 divided by 15 = 3.2 gallons.

Gas is $2.45 for mid-grade here, so that's a savings of $7.84 per tank. It'd be worth it IF it worked...
