Their website claims 6~8% savings so at 8%, you'll save about $87.00 per year. Given the $400.00 cost (does that include installation?), the breakeven point is 4 1/2 years (45,000 miles) - if the claims are true. Tom K. Tom K. View Public Profile Find all posts by Tom K.

Actually the price is "between $100 and $400" I am not sure about installation costs. It may be OK if the price is about $200. I will call them tomorrow and check out the details. My gas cost is about $1500/year. At $200 and %6 savings the break even point is slightly over 2 year. Will report on the results later.
