My Ride: Mini Cooper
Im getting 20mpg now and before it was 21mpg.
maybe cos i been pushing the car these few months.
best bet is email the maker and they will tell you if you get more or less from it.
some of my frends getting more and some less so I would guess that it should be about the same.

Get it Alex. It's worth it. The throttle response is amazing. I'm going to do another timed run tomorrow after work.

My Ride: F13 M6
after today, my car literally became more "jumpier". i could honestly see the rpms climbing a tad quicker. i seriously dont know how this could not add any gain with the car feeling like that and watching the rpms with my own eyes. the issue on gas, for me, just watching the numbers for the estimated amount of miles left before next fill-up indicates that a little more gas is consumed, not much though. i also noticed while releasing the accelerator the mpg gauge doesnt go all the way down as ive noticed without the sprintbooster. all in all, with a sensitive throttle, i like it. thanks again bing and john.

Well, I guess I know who ICEMAN316 sold his extra SB too. Actually, I suggested he sell it to you, I think.

Good to see that Nerweezy picked up one and enjoying it. I'm still going back and forth with slkfans on the group buy. He's pretty slow to respond and I'm about to give up and just buy one for myself.

I'm getting my car checked out at the dealer tommorrow. For some reason my radio wont play the CD or FM/AM. I wonder if they can detect I have the booster? Should I just leave it on maybe its a software bug?
