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.

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.
