All right, finally I found some time to give you guys a little update on how these work in my car.
After a few days of use I could definitely notice a nice improvement on my commute routes. It pulled stronger, revved up faster but most importantly it was very smooth. It really improved the handling bellow 3k RPM.
I got a shock when I ended up at the gas station, that my milage dropped to 20 MPG (I usually get 21-22 in town) and I was expecting better MPG as well. First I was worried that something is screwed up and I just imagine the improvements, but on a weekend on a San Diego - Los Angeles trip I got 30 MPG with 90% freeway driving - before that my best was 26.8 MPG with 100% on the freeway.
After this trip I started to ease up on the gas and I got 23.9 MPG mostly with city driving. So it seems that it does improve milage as well, you just have to be careful with your right foot [

In overall, I would strongly recommend it to everyone, especially if you do a lot of freeway driving. These cables really deliver what they promise - I can't wait for the dyno day at Focus Central in May to see what my numbers will be [thumb]
