I have it and have not noticed any mileage improvement. I do not track it though.....any gross changes I would probably notice. The car just idles smoother and now my spark plugs have the same amount of carbon on each of them. 1&4 used to have much more deposits on them. I just replaced the wires yesterday. I ran Magnecor wires for more than 4 years(that is a long time) without any noticeable problems. When I changed them yesterday the car has a much smoother idle than it did even after the coil pack was changed. I should have changed them out with the coil pack. I have changed my plugs every 3K miles with having a turbo and 6K when I was NA.
BTW: I used MSD 8.5mm super conductor this time. They are a tad bit longer than the Magnecor but thought they matched my coil pack nicely. For the money they are probably the best wires you can buy.
I personally think everyone with a 4 or 5 year old car could benefit from a new coil pack and good wires. I know they do not wear out like a cap/rotor, but the parts must get worn out if the new ones improve idle and fuel burn.

dont know about mileage improvements, i spend to much time @ WOT to track mileage, hehe. i did open up my spark plug gap from .032 to .036 w/o any missing or anything. wonder how much more you can gap the plugs w/ the msd coilpack vs. stock.

yeah, ive regapped my plugs from about .49 to about .56 and also bought hotter plugs. It seems to make a bit of difference. I think it was worth the 70 bucks.
